    Need help planning out new bathroom DWV

    One last consideration, if it’s easiest to run a wye with a street 45 off my main 3” run and then a long sweep 90 to get under the wall for my tub that would be perfectly alright as well correct? I will try to avoid the 90s but it might be much easier to run this way, I’m not certain yet. See...

    Need help planning out new bathroom DWV

    Great, if that’s the case, I’ll just tie both the lav and tub dry vents into the existing 2” attic vent. If an inspector has a problem it’s an easy fix. Thanks for all the help!

    Need help planning out new bathroom DWV

    Thanks Wayne, I can use a combo on its back instead of the san t. One last question. I have a 2” VTR near where the tub dry vent would be coming into the attic (It currently vents the 3fl bathroom bathroom directly above this one). Can I tied my dry vent into that or should I stick with using...

    Need help planning out new bathroom DWV

    Wayne, thanks, this is very helpful. Let me know your thoughts on this layout. The tub and WC are both on the same wall however the WC will be wall hung so I can’t put any additional pipe in that stud bay. I’ve also included a layout of the floor plan. Thanks!

    Need help planning out new bathroom DWV

    I’m renovating a bathroom on the 2nd floor and cannot use my existing 4” cast iron stack because there will be a window in its place on the 1st floor. Please take a look at my iso drawings which show my tub and water closet wet vented by 2” through roof. The second photo provides a shared 2”...

    Help me vet this bathroom layout - 3” toilet drain with horizontal 90?

    I do need to revisit the code book to ensure I’m using the right size pipe for my dedicated lav dry vent, I can easily go up to 1.5”. I’m also using a wall mounted toilet so I planned on using a 3” long sweep 90 to transition from joist bay to stud bay. I’m most concerned with feedback on the...

    Help me vet this bathroom layout - 3” toilet drain with horizontal 90?

    I’ll think about rerouting the 3” toilet run along the wall using a long sweep 90 turning to the toilet as opposed to through the joists on a 45. I’ll still have to go through the joists but it won’t be using a 45 angle. Please let me know if the below isometric drawing is correct for the...

    Help Replacing 1930s 4 Way Cast Iron DWV Pipe

    A version of this seems to work perfectly!!! Anything look off to you or is this the best approach? The closest elbow will actually end up exactly where it’s located in the photo (it’s being relocated closer to the wall).

    Help Replacing 1930s 4 Way Cast Iron DWV Pipe

    I’m sorry I misspoke, the tub does actually use the main 3” stack for venting which is why I want to connect the 2” run to a san tee inlet. will see if the pivoting and using 45s work in the morning. thanks.

    Help Replacing 1930s 4 Way Cast Iron DWV Pipe

    Hey, thanks for the responses. the 2” run connects a sink, shower and tub to the 3” stack. The sink and shower have their own dry vent and both wet vent to the stack. Before reaching the stack, the tub connects into the wet vent to the stack (only about 4-5’ away from stack). First concept-...

    Help Replacing 1930s 4 Way Cast Iron DWV Pipe

    I’m trying to replace the below fitting in order to drain vent both a 2” run (sink, tub, shower) as well as a 3” run (toilet). The original stack was 4” cast iron and will be replaced with 3” PVC. I’ve come up with two solutions but both have issues. The issue with one is that I’m using an...

    Help Relocating Supply Plenum in Remodel

    I am now understanding that it isn’t advisable to drop the trunk directly into the plenum. Is it normal practice to put vanes inside the plenum to achieve this? If going into the side of the plenum is my best bet I will have to source something like the attached elbow that will drop down from...

    Help Relocating Supply Plenum in Remodel

    Let me draw this out and post. I’m somewhat following. I assume the 90 degree shortway elbow would need to be a custom piece that attaches to the 10”x21” trunk and then expands to a 5”x26” since it will now attach to the side of the plenum? (Where I have the 6”start collar which will now need to...

    Help- Transitioning from duct board trunk to metal

    Great solution here, cutting a window in the offset and screwing from the inside seems like my best option. I was planning on connecting the offset to a 12” long steel duct that would go through the floor and meet up with the new plenum supply box I have built. Is this where you would use the...
