Hi all
I'm having a GC do a fairly large project on my house, and the plumbing sub has done pretty good work to date. Having done a lot of my own plumbing in the past I'm pretty familiar with the code.
At the moment they are roughing in a shower drain. I can't tell 100% that they are done, but it appears that if they are they're planning on running the 2" drain about 6' to the stack with no intermediate vent. In addition the path from the trap to the stack has a 90 degree turn (done with a sweep 90).
Am I right to assume that they need to put in a branch vent for the shower before 5', and before the 90 degree turn? I want to make sure everything is done properly, but more importantly I want it to work without issue.
Normally I'd just talk to them directly but their English is not the best and I want to make sure of the facts before I talk to the GC.
Thanks
Paul
