| Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous posts about my proposed plumbing.
I have redrawn the plumbing and changed a number of things, so I thought it might be best to ask for new comments in a new post. Hopefully, I have everything close to kosher this time and would really appreciate your evaluation one more time. A couple of comments to make the drawing a little clearer: Sink #1 is the kitchen sink, #2 is the bathroom sink and, of course, the bath sink, commode and tub are in the same room;
All horizonal drain and vent runs have the standard 1/4" per foot slope.
Increased the main vertical vent from 2" to 3" (It seems to me, however, that the 2" would work just as well, seeing as
The kitchen sink horizon drain is now 36" instead of 66" and the vent goes 45 degrees for about 2 feet before going vertical within the wall.
Increase the final vent pipe to 4" to come closer to the sq." area of both 3" vents going into it.
From the toilet to the main stack, changed from a 90 degree elbow going into a combo tee wye, to a 45 degree elbow going
The main cleanout is not actually under the house;
One last thing; I have included cleanouts as shown on the sinks and tub. Should I also add a cleanout just below the toilet
Thanks very much in advance for your comments,

| In your own words,,,,,,ONE MORE TIME.... As I stated in your previous post, the solution to your problem is much simpler than what you have, however, I need to know what code your under..If you don't know then let me know what city and state your in and I can look it up. I already have the solution drawn out, just need that code info to finalize it |

| Jeenasmith,,,,That link is totally useless because it is for a supplier in Ireland and they use a completely different sizing system in Ireland...nothing from that source would fit here. |

| I would appreciate one last review of my plumbing layout. Thank you for your previous comments. Some changes are: By repositioning the kitchen sink slightly, I was able to keep the trap arm within the max 60" length. And was able to keep the vent size 2" by locating it on the other The bath sink, of course, is actually on the other side of the vertical 2", in the bathroom by the toilet. I decided to go through the roof afterall with the main vent, right next to the ridge. On the tub, I will put the trap within the floor joists; even though the crawlspace The clean outs are marked C.O. and the one at the end of the main 3" line as well as the double clean out will be outside the perimeter of the crawlspace. Do you see anything that might give me problems ? Thanks, |
