Rough In Plumbing
This is how a plumber has roughed-in a section with a tub & toilet.
I would have thought the vent would have been put on the toilet end. Please view pic... and let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Just a quick question pleases. Is this the fix for the back up you were getting on your previous post with the hoot system?

Hi ballengerb1
No, this has nothing to do with the Hoot system. This is how the guy/plumber roughed-in my house 30 years ago. I sure didn't know anything about plumbing back then ( I was 23) I just noticed this now, while looking behind my tub/trap door and looking at the way the vents were routed in the attic. It just seems to me, the vent should have been put on this side of the toilet, as per picture. Just trying to get some ideas if this is correct or not... just for my own curiosity. As for the Hoot system... the tank was getting full causing the toilet bubbles. The sump pump seemed to have a mind of its own, sometimes it would come on, sometimes it wouldn't. I guess that's why we only heard it 3 or 4 times in a span of about Three weeks. Here's what was happening... the eletrical wires to the sump pump were tied to the plastic discharge pipe with a plastic cable tie. The cable tie broke... allowing the wires to hang write over the path of the float that would rise with the water and turn the sump pump on. The wires would not let the float rise high enough to turn on the sump pump. Tank would become completely full... then when the blower would kick on with the Tank completely full... I guess it would cause enough of a commotion in the tank to allow the float to slip pass the wires and turn the sump pump on. Weird... heh!. easy fix though. |

I had one just as weird. A picture frame fell from a shelf and landed in my open sump pump pit. My first clue was wet carpet in the basement.
The piping looks fine. Try this site for your curiosity solver. Home Tips: Drain, Waste, and Vent Plumbing Systems Have good one |

If he had installed the vent upstream from the tub he would have had to install a separate vent for the tub. As it is the toilet's wet vented by the tub. Regards, Tom |

I want to install a tub with a center drain, in the basement of my house. We have done the rough plumbing and will soon pour the slab. My plumber tells me that I can not buy a tub with a center drain because of the slab. Is this true? If not how should I set the rough plumbing.
