The PVC pipe in the CI hub looks suspect too. Doesn't look like a EPDM donut but some kind of RTV sealant.

Thanks Jeff. No, I understand - I just didn't explain what the problem is. I don't have the height to add a bushing. The tub drain has a 1.5" wye (picking up the overflow and drain and it is 3/4" below the tubs bottom). It's my fault - I didn't see the AFR tub was below "grade". I have 3/4"...

Thank you. I saw this at HD and yes, it fits loosely inside a 2" pipe. Do Fernco or Mission make a rubber bushing for this purpose? Thanks again, Bill

Hello All, I don't want to order the wrong part. But before that I don't even know if this is something that exists. I want to cement a bushing inside a 2" PVC pipe so that I can cement a 1.5" PVC pipe into the bushing. I see this description from Charlotte and another vendor: 2" Spigot x...

Hello, I have a ceiling exposed which gives me the opportunity to add hot water circulation to 2 bathrooms that are above which each tee off about 30 feet from the trunk. I'm just confirming that it is OK to add a return at each end and tee those returns where the hots tee. I think they won't...

The slope of the 4" drain isn't great. Because of settling, the 2nd section of cast iron was very close to level. Having cut out most of the level section, there is now an even drop from each cast iron to PVC connection. It's about 1 1/4" over the 5 1/2'. I'm happy that the almost level...

I've come up with the following simpler plan. The left wye 2" to the wall, changing to 1.5" going horizontally for the the lav and the lav vent above 42". Each will tie in with a san tee into the vertical 2" vent. The tub is vented after the trap and that continues and wye's into the 3" wc...

Thank you for your reply. The room is 5'9" x 5' with 4'x1' taken out of the corner for the 3" vertical drop. The tub was planned for the 5' wall making it's drain farthest downstream. The tub can be turned 90* putting the drain up 4' allowing the wc to wye in after the tub but that's not...

When the disposal fills with water and fills the horizontal pipe, there is no where for the air to go that is being displaced by the water. With the drain not closed off, the pipes fill fast pushing the air out and then the movement of the water without air to be displaced is much faster. I...

Thank you. That is an excellent document. I suspect by your suggesting that this document can help me that there is something wrong that this document will show me, which I appreciate. Otherwise you would have said "looks good". :) I have been suspect of the 2" trap downstream of the...

Hello all, DYI project for basement. I'd like to meet 2012 IPC code for this (town uses this). I've done many plumbing and electrical projects for 30 years. Some past work has been permitted when it was part of a larger permitted project. Would anyone please comment on the following plan...
