Double sanitary tee in Canada

Terry said:

In the US, were still not big fans of the code legal in Can a da san cross. That's always been a tough one to snake.

By code you should have cleanout on the branch below the double san-T. This makes snaking easy.

The problem me and hj have had, was dropping the snake down the sancross.
You can put a cleanout below, but that still leaves a section that you can't snake.
We don't use the sancross south of Can a da.

That's why it's nice to know where people are installing these things.
For myself, I prefer to plumb not just to code, which is a bare minimum, but to plumb so that it works long term. It doesn't really take much.
hj is as old as the Grand Canyon, and I'm a decade or so behind him, so we think differently. We think more like service plumbers, wishing the rough-in guys would get their act together.

So the sancross is legal in Canada, not the US
What other American countries use the sancross?
Mexico?
Guatemala?
Belize?

Pretty good band.......I am pretty old but listen to nothing but Rock and like it.......new, old, everything in between......Lots of good bands out there today with similar sounds that made it big.....Good Luck to them......

What section would you not beable to snake? You could run the snake down each trap arm and then open up the clean-out and snake up AND down the piping all the way out to the city sewer or roof vent if you wanted to do that.

We don't use "double fixture tees" or w/e you guys call them. Atleast not here in BC and you won't find reference to them in the code book anywhere. That I know of anyway

It, along with a double combination Y-1/8 bend, is ILLEGAL for that use in this, and most areas using the UPC. The IPC might allow it, but I am not sure about that. You are supposed to use the proper fitting, which is a "back to back fixture fitting", (R&G Sloane #91491 in ABS), which comes in 2x2x1 1/2x1 1/2, 2x1 1/2x1 1/2x1 1/2, and all sides 2", plus larger sizes.

HJ - Came across this thread based on search for similar solution. So using this fitting, is allowable in UPC? Also I'm assuming they make it in sch40 PVC. Thanks Just want to make sure I'm using the correct fitting.
Thanks

Actually just re-read and am good to go.
