Hi all,
I've designed and fitted one leg of my new DWV for the toilet and shower. Thanks to advice from the forum I'm confident of the sizing and layout. I'm now preparing to cement things together and wonder if there's an order to gluing-up that you more exeprienced people have arrived at that. A "typical" approach?
I know that every situation is different, and so, strictly speaking, "there are no rules of thumb." But -- when you approach the gluing-up stage of a new DWV installation is there a certain order that you tend to do things in unless/until something unusual arises?
For instance, do you tend to build from the lowest level, say the main waste line, and build upward as much as possible? Or build the trickier sections first and then finish by cementing in the longer runs of pipe?
I know I'll get the thing cemented and it will be fine, but I bet I'll do some chunks of it the hard way, or a harder way, than if I had already fit and cemented miles of the stuff in my career.
So? Help, Mr. Wizard!
Thanks,
Charles
