Tom Raymond Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 The sanitary tee is wrong, the wye should have been a double. Why is the manifold opposite the lavatories? How are they going to fire stop that enormous cavity and does anybody really need that much soundproofing around the john? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Corrigan Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Should have been a vent above the centerline of the right drain. Tom Corrigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Fabry Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Double combination or double wye would work fine- I hope the vanity is about four feet high. In real life I probably wouldn't make them change out a double sanitary tee. How would one fire-stop that cavity if it was a closet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real life I probably wouldn't make them change out a double sanitary tee. How would one fire-stop that cavity if it was a closet? The double wye would force the connection to the vent to below the weir of the trap. A double T "combo" would have been the best choice. If they used a wye then they would have to take the vent connection off the top of the horizontal drain and run it up and over to the stack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A double T "combo" would have been the best choice. Which is why I made the four foot high vanity comment. The trap arms are so high that I doubt they'll be able to make any connection.

Tom Raymond Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 How would one fire-stop that cavity if it was a closet? If it were a closet it would have a finished interior. Is Jeff going to make sure the ceiling between those two walls is covered? If the plumbing and electrical penetrations are required to be sealed it seems silly to ignore the gap in the wet wall.

hausdok Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 How is he accommodating the expansion/contraction of that PEX. Looks like it's gonna be straining at the bit. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
