HiAll,
My inspector flagged my permit application for my master bath renovation and has given me a chance to resubmit
The basics
4x5 Shower
3/4" Thermostatic Valve going to seperate volume controls for:
Rainshower Head - 2.5GPM
Standard Head - 2.5GPM
Slidebar - 2.5GPM
3 Body Sprays - 5.4GPM total
2 inch drain
Inspector says based upon his DFU calculations he would fail - and my options (with the issues)
Put in a diverter valve so not all heads could be opened at once - but would limit what head could work with another
Put in a 2nd 2 inch drain - pain as the wedi pan is orderd and comes with one 2 inch in center
Go with a 3 inch drain - pan as above and additional plumbing would be a big undertaking
The inspector was very nice on the phone and worried about all valves being opened at the same time - I just want to better understand from the plainspeak on this great forum if his interpertation is correct and what at least national DFU code says - if pushed think I will be back to ask about installing that 2nd drain
Many thx in advance - Glenn
