well, would you look at that and here i thought the plumbers who swear by pex being better than copper were on to something rather than being cheap and lazy

would an installation like this require two inspections? i intend to 1)plumb lower section 2)pour footer and build stem walls 3) add 6ft of fill material 4) finally plumb the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry keeping a 6ft trench open would likely not be feasible on a small house

floor drains are 2 dfu. only emergency floor drains are 0

I am trying to figure out how to arrange a specific plumbing system for a small house. The house will be built on a stemwall, so the finished floor will be about 4ft above the grading (6ft above footer). i was going to initally run everything deep, below the footer (so about 8ft below FF) but...

Well, i gotta correct myself, several inspectors call 2 45s an s-trap I guess the only person's opinion/interpretation that matters is the inspector who's gonna look

can i have the attached condition on a stack? it only supports a single bathroom and goes VTR at 3" I've had inspector complain about similar bends and call it s-traps

Last week i went to a korean BBQ place which was pretty nice; located in Sarasota 2 days before hurricane Milton. They charged $33/pp if you want BBQ or hot pot. If you do both, its $39/pp

it doesn't say "and/or" in the code i'm getting ahead of myself. i'll do it this way and see if inspector has a problem with it. i'm just thinking he will due to prior experiences

916.2 Vent connection. The island fixture vent shall connect to the fixture drain as required for an individual or common vent. The vent shall rise vertically to above the drainage outlet of the fixture being vented before offsetting horizontally or vertically downward. The vent or branch...

thanks for the help, but the code and those posts don't really provide any conclusive info regarding my concern

i see these details on various architectural plans, but it seems like the horizontal vent would fail inspection. Or what am I missing here?

I want to install wall hung toilets on new build and would like a bowl that has the least creases or nooks where it can get dirty (I've seen round egg shaped bowls). I am interested in a flush valve toilet along with a seat w/ cover. I've read toto is the best quality, but i don't know which...

great to see that pex is indeed better than copper, as per many handymen :rolleyes:

provide a sketch use a test-tee just before final tie-in then weld shut the tee with an appropriate test cap

option 1 doesn't look like it'd be tougher to do. Although, i can't figure out what the middle black pipe is for. I suppose something for a different floor in the house

I am not following. Why would it be 2" on residential? I don't see why we would ignore the rule in IPC if the IRC doesn't address it

gave me some homework to do. i noticed both their Chapter 4 relates to fixtures and UPC specifically does not have clothes washer (wherein which the IPC demands 3") I did find an illustration on UPC that clearly shows 2" horizontal drain for clothes washer. I am not sure why IPC would be more...
