    Trying to buy a house, need input on this.

    No hub cast iron Imperfect vent connection

    Isn't this trap for the tub that's going to be 12" off the wall? If so trap should be where continuos waste and overflow can slip straight into it with the adaptor fredo showed you earlier. That will give you more room to modify piping.

    No hub cast iron Imperfect vent connection

    The weird angle came from rotating 1/4 bend (90) to line up your trap where you wanted it. Re pipe using bends to connect to vent and connect trap using wye and 1/8 bend (45). If you don't have enough lateral room for that see if you have enough vertical room to install a sanitary tee for the...

    Is my Waste and vent line correct?

    Looks good. Can't tell exactly where your floor level is. All the cast iron isn't as rusty as the piece coming up from trap I hope.

    Do I really need a clean-out for my sewer pipe?

    How did they come up with 7 ft depth for C.O. Where it comes out from house. That's very unusual. The plumber doing original house rough in is not going to come out that deep with the stub out for sewer connection. The only place it might be 7 ft deep is at the curb. Can you line up with where...

    Do I really need a clean-out for my sewer pipe?

    frodo, I said you need a C.O. Right where you come out from under the house. Why the wrong wrong. Look right above the wrong wrong. Do you agree the house stub out is about 3 ft and no were near 7 ft deep. Only where the curb is might it be 7 ft deep. Do you think a 2 man crew including...
