Very nice. And thanks for your help!

I am planning to use a Reliance Pro/Tran2 transfer switch which I think fits the bill? https://a.co/d/ghr7c5w

The gas furnace is the air handler for the heat pump.

I don't want to run the heat pump during a power outage, just the gas furnace. I would cut the power to the heat pump, power the furnace with the generator and set the system/thermostat to Emergency mode, which as I understand it is heat from the furnace only. My only concern is getting heat...

I recently had a heat pump installed. My backup is a gas furnace which was all I had prior to the heat pump install. I used to run that furnace off of a generator during a power outage. I'm wondering if there is any potential problem with switching the system to Emergency mode and running the...

My apologies. I went to Pacific Plumbing and they showed me what you were talking about. My house was built in 1967. The couplings you show are just what I need. I must've misunderstood the inspector. Thanks for your help.

Actually I recall that my inspector told me I should use the abs adapter fittings with th no-hub, so I have to get them, just hoping I could find them more reasonably priced

I planned on using one of those but don't I also need an adapter for the ABS pipe to deal with the slightly larger size of the ABS vs the cast iron or will it seal ok and pass inspection with just the no-hub?

I need a couple 3-inch ABS No-hub adapters like this https://www.ferguson.com/product/-abs-dwv-no-hub-adapter-adwvanh/_/A-ProdFamily-241962 ..but wondering if someone knows of a place in King County that would have them for less than the $14.84 that Ferguson sells them for. I've been to a...

He said the loops were not necessary, but he failed me for how I did the horizontal wet vent for the toilet, so I've got work to do. Hopefully be ready for another shot next week. Thanks all for the comments.

We'll see I guess. He's coming over within the next couple hours so too late to mess with it now! ;-) Thanks for the post. Maybe I'll ask him if I can remove them.

Oh right, shower lines too. Thx!

Hard to see in the pic but I did clamp the loops to the boards on the wall. Might be more than 32 inches from those to the 90 degree bends, so I will check that, if that's what you're referring to. Actually I'm sure it's more than 32 for the sink lines. I can address that if I leave the loops.

I've got my rough-in inspection for a bathroom on Tuesday. I'm wondering about how I've done the supply lines. I used rigid 3/4 pex to bring the water to the bathroom, then switched to 1/2 pex and did the loops you can see under the floor up to the sink and toilet. I read that loops or something...

After further review of posts, I'm going to forego installing arrestors. Seems like they are normally just needed for washers and dishwashers. I'm working on a bathroom, so I wait to see if water hammer is a problem before I buy arrestors. =============== I was hoping to get some 1/2 PEX hammer...

I thought the same thing about the long post but figured it was a standard response when no photos are attached Anyway, thanks hj for the response. I will leave ithe new drain work disconnected and bring it up when I call for the inspection.

I'm adding a bathroom within an existing bedroom. The vent will be new and separate from what is in the house, but of course the new drain will connect to the existing 3" pipe in the crawl space. For the DWV rough-in inspection, I'm wondering if I am supposed to connect it to the existing 3"...

I second that - great post!

Good point. I will have to avoid that. it was built in 67 - just checked again to be sure. I haven't been able to locate a video showing how to grind off an elbow or tee and save the male threaded pipe. Maybe a YouTube opportunity for someone. ;)

Got it. I will look for videos and try it on some spare pipe. That's my objective with this --- no disturbance!
