Hello all,
I am certainly no plummer just a homeowner trying to tie in his sewage ejector pump to his main drain line so forgive me if I get some of the terminology wrong.
I am coming up one wall and across the ceiling with the 2" pipe. I have the right grade and am tying it into the main 3" drain line horizontally with a 45 wye with a 60 degree elbow.
The inspector came out today and said I needed to tilt the wye so the 3" pipe was not "cut in half" from the 2" opening of the wye so I had to rotate so the opening of the 2" portion was above the halfway point of the 3" pipe.
Does this make sense? all the other 3x3x3 wyes that are in my house that I can see are all lying lat on their side(is that the right terminology?). Is it a different story when dropping size on the horizontal plane? I thought i had this done up pretty good.
Here is a picture of the entire run.
Here is one from directly below
And here is one from eye level
