For the toilet plumbing, does this look right?

Except for the rest of the pex supply lines, this wall is done. This was a tough one. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191201/972a85138f4edaf3b5315b72199c3fbd.jpg

This should work, just have to turn it 90 into the wall from the wye. Have to hack the stud to get it in there but it should work. How does it...

I can squeeze in the double wye 2inch and put in a 2 to 1.5 bushing for the stub outs. Here is the layout, does this look good? The blue is the 3 inch, the red from the side is the 2 inch vent. I...

Got the vent for the sink and shower in coming around the corner. Does this look good? Where the 1.5/1.5 inch pipe transition to the 2 inch, is the fitting I used correct? And I used a vent elbow,...

See attached...doing the drains back to back isn't going to work. With that said, what option do I have given the separation between each sink? Would a 2" circuit vent like the one in the pic be...

I had my sink layout wrong.. the attached picture is the correct layout.

1. Can the red drain line be 1.5"?

2. How to the vents go with this...

Finally getting back on the project.

In this photo...I have the following questions.

In red...are those Wye fittings?

In green...is 1.5" sufficient for the drain lines?

In Blue...is 1.5"...

Here is a revised layout... Any more suggestions? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190819/0ecbe46c11734951844e64820d5a2d2e.jpg

Hi -

I am doing a Master Bath renovation and changing the plumbing locations. Also, in the future I will be redoing my kitchen and eliminating a wall where the main waste line runs so basically,...

Hey Mark -

Yep... gonna cut out the old shutoffs and do exactly as you wrote. I needed that to convince me. Not worth a flood having to rig it to work. Thanks for you help.

I have relocated my washing machine upstairs on the 2nd floor in an existing bathroom. I had a double sink/vanity that I replaced with a single sink to get the washing machine adjacent to it. I...

Does the NEC permit water pipes to be routed above an electrical panel? I would be running Pex water pipes above it. I am limited to where I can put the subpanel and water pipes.

I am wiring my basement and am installing a porch light out of the walk-out basement door. At the door I was going to have switches for the lights in the room and the porch light. Can the interior...

It is 3c#4 copper wire sized for a 70 amp breaker. It is encased in a grey plastic jacket. Does that describe it well?

I am relocating a subpanel to a new location and the existing #4 wire is too short by a few feet. I would rather splice a new piece of wire to it an extend the wire than replace the whole cable as...

Here is a quick and dirty sketch of what I am intending on doing... does this look good or would you vent it differently?

The arrow indicates where it will penetrate the floor and go into the 1st...

When I run the 2" vent pipe, is it OK to use the short radius 90s? Is there a limit to how many 90s I can use when installing the vent pipe?

There are a few tight 90s I need to install to get it...

Going the route of a regular vent through the roof. Should I use 2" PVC for the whole vent, including through the roof?

Are you better off going with a regular vent? Should AAVs be avoided if possible? This horizontal vent pipe will be installed in a 2x4 wall so the smaller the pipe the better. Will a 2.5" pipe fit...

Looks like I might have a problem with this... the overall developed length would be approximately 50', with 30' being horizontal.

Could I get away with installing an air admittance valve as the...

Its been awhile, but I am finally looking to finish this project up. I am going to run the vent pipe to an existing vent... see attached. My question is... is it OK to run an existing vent pipe...

Ok... so I can use a plastic box with the metal clip to screw into the face to the steel stud?

I wasn't sure if you had to use metal boxes with steel studs.

I am in the process of finishing my basement with steel studs and am almost ready to work on the electric. What kind of boxes do you use when working with steel studs?

Right now my heat is connected to an older thermostat. When I had my Central Air installed I never combined thermostats. Now my heat thermostat is on the fritz and I would like to use the WR...

Thanks. Two additional questions:

1) Coming up for the toilet, should I use a standard 4" 90 degree elbow and glue a piece of 4" PVC so it sticks out of what will be the top of the slab?

Mark... the layout I had isn't going to work because my measurements were incorrect. Measure twice, cut once right. Sorry you made the layout for nothing, my apologies.

Anyway... unfortunately...

I have only installed one 10' piece of 4" PVC just past the 2-Street 45s. I haven't done anything in the bathroom or kitchen. Any help would be great.

So do you piece it together so it covers around the whole pipe?

Just so you understand what I am talking about, I want to wrap the 4" and 2" pipes.

I am moving along with the plumbing. The...

Yes... the bathroom and kitchen are in the basement. Well if they are groundless than I'm glad to hear it. I will get this section of pipe in, backfill, fill in the concrete and than work on the...

Speedball... to clarify this is where the problem is. There is nothing from upstairs coming into the pipe at this point.
