Got the new tailpiece. Disposal is nice and straight.

Thanks for the info. Yeah I just kind of guessed that it was ABS. This is the one that I ordered. The horizontal length will give me what I need. https://www.amazon.com/Mr-Scrappy-22-MSELB-1-Disposal-Replacement/dp/B0BVPLT831

This is where I landed. I used a 2” trap and honored the trap arm diameter. I somehow landed about 1/4” shy of the disposal so the tail piece I have on there is a bit of a hack. Ordering a black abs one with a slightly longer elbow. If you look closely, the disposal is far from plumb for the...

I think this makes the most practical sense. From a code perspective that is a very obvious step up in trap arm diameter which as mentioned is a UPC violation. I figured a quick change to 1.5” would at least be a little less obvious. then use a 1.5” slip joint. I did intend to use a street 22.5...

Yeah I have a 2” stub out. I cut it down to about 3” yesterday. I need to stick a 22.5 on there to jog over to the disposal. I kind of winged it during rough in based off of my old disposal. This is a 1hp beast but the corner drain on the sink still puts it just a hair too far over from the tee...

Thanks all. I think I will start with a reducer right up on the tee. I doubt that they will even look at it, but if it is an issue I will cut it off, ream our the old 2” and install a reducer bushing. I don’t think I will mess around with a 2” trap. I don’t have enough vertical room to step...

Hi Pros: I need to plump the trap on my new kitchen sink. This is for plumbing final. I am reading that the kitchen trap and arm should be 2”. Am I reading that right? Does anyone have any pics handy that they can share of a recent setup? What trap are you using? Is it cemented in place or...

Yeah sanitary tees are not symmetrical. So since I dry fit in the draining water orientation then the horizontal pipes are a bit off. As mentioned however I’ll need to recut most of my runs anyway since the glue causes the pipes to seat better. I am skeptical of the performance benefits. This...

Oh I’ve had to recut just about everything on the drain side. Especially the 3”, which resulted in some geometry changes also. The 2” dry fits pretty well with minimal change since the flange isn’t that deep. Not a lot of waste though because the pieces that I remove end up getting used as I...

Thank you!! My preference is not upside down. I understand that in theory they could flow air better upside down. Seem negligible through. I’m dry fit for right side up so as long as it meets code I may go that way.

Hi Pros, I’m a bit confused as to whether a sanitary tee should or should not be “upside down” when used for horizontal-to-vertical transitions above the flood plane. I have approved old work that is configured with an upside down tree. I’m wondering if I need to flip line before gluing up the...

Thanks Wayne! I can leave as-is then. Agreed that it will help to wash the area clean. I have a clean out on the shower vent as well as the giant 3” vent. To answer your question, nothing drains into that middle 3” vent. It isn’t a straight shot up. I have it elbow over about 3” in the “attic”...

Hi Pros, I need to glue this up but I am not super thrilled with the approach. I think I should wye my shower into the 3” toilet drain downstream of the toilet. I’ve read that in some areas this may not be up to code. I just don’t like it regardless. What are your thoughts? Recorded a very...

WorthFlorida nailed it. Just buy a new 10’ for around $20 at home depot. Take out the old screws (1/4” bit). Install the new pipe. A few other tips. 1. The female (larger) end of that downspout goes onto the curve. You always want some overlap in the downspouts so the water can’t drip through...

Updated video of toilet /shower/ vanity / laundry joining to a 2” common vent. I don’t have any outstanding questions but would love any feedback that you have. FYI - I do intend to leave all of my cleanouts accessible. They will all be out of site.

Thanks! I had no intention of swapping out the 2” fixture, it’s just that Fergusons has a 1.5x1.5x2” also with a 1.5” vent. It is perfect but I already have a 2x2x2x2 with adapters. I’m using 2” everywhere else. The only reason the vanity drains are 1.5 is because technically I can’t drill large...

BTW - I’m “local” also and in the process of sourcing a top with under mount sinks for mine. Best bet is to go with the factory top and sinks. If you want something different or perhaps cheaper I’m happy to share notes and estimates. If you get a vanity without a top, make sure the depth is less...

Definitely double! This also adds value or at least desirability to your home. If you shave, I’m sure your wife will appreciate at least one clean sink. :)

Pick away. You won’t offend me at all!
