double sanitary tee in Canada

[christoff]

No. That makes S-Traps what will siphon.

The vent needs to pull off of the top of the pipe, not six inches lower.

so, if i put the 90's on the top of the y's that would be ok cause it is lower?

You can't use a wye fitting for back to back fixtures.

[christoff]

Thanks Terry I'll do it this way

[christoff]

does anyone know where in canada (toronto area) i can get this double sanitary tee?
they don't have it at hd. i also went to a plumbing outlet no luck, thats why i got the double y

quote; In fact if you have two sinks sharing a common vent through a semetrically connected fitting then that fitting HAS to be a Double San-T. Because if it's not you're a creating an S-Trap and you are not allowed to install S-Traps.

Aren't you reading anything that has been said. The "back to back fixture fitting" DOES NOT create an "S" trap, which is why it is REQUIRED in most areas.

[christoff]

so is a double san tee the same as a back to back fitting??

[Terry]

A double santee is not the same as a double fixture cross or fitting.
You may have to print out the page and bring it in.

and I thought here in Montreal I had problems finding a dst and a dcf I found one at Wolseley, a plumbing reseller which they have in all Canadian provinces or you can purchase a dst online at home depot only on delivery

I actually called the part manufacturer who couldn't sell it to me cuz i,m a nobody,lol, they only sell to resellers, a bribe to the guy on the phone didn't even work for a 5 dollar part, where is this world leading to, i tell you.
the part NUMBER at wolseley is ABSTYD2X1K
good luck

thanks terry i printed one out last night.

The factory would not sell it to you, because they do NOT sell individual items and you did not want a box of them. Also, they would have had to create an account for you with all the paper work it entails, INCLUDING a means of charging and reporting any sales tax, or VAT. NONE of their customers pay the sales tax, so you would have created an unusual situation for them with a lot of beaurocracy paperwork.

[segal46]

Isnt the customer always right, though I totally understand and agree with your point. Just that when I was told that here in my province none were sold to retailers since February, and thousands sold across our country, common courtesy of trying to help a fellow human goes a long way. Just a thought of the day.

[asktom]
