This job at a hospital consists of adding back to back exam room sinks that share a 2” drain line. My supervisor took a scope with a hospital engineer and I was told, “There’s a stack here. You’ll probably have to cut in a San tee.”
That’s typical, cool with me. My first night of work the engineer points me to where the stack is. Trash cans were stacked there so I proceeded with coreing the 3” hole and began running the 2” no hub cast at 1/4” per foot. We got 70’ hung but before we left I moved the biohazard trash cans and looked at the stack. Here’s what I saw…
Yeah, some stack
I like a good challenge but com’on man.
I cut out to top of the wall to get a view of this beauty.
By the time my 2” drain line gets there I’m just above the ceiling grid. The best I can think is hacking away at this with a 4” grinder. Cutting enough away to be able to cut through the middle of the bottom sweep leaving a 45. The band a 4” wye with the branch facing up. Rework the above 4” sweeps to meet the new fitting. Then put a 4x2 no hub band on the wye with a 2” 1/8 bend which should catch my 2” drain at hopefully the right elevation.
I thought about Diablo carbide blades to make a clean cut, if if a blade would even fit between the fitting and concrete exterior wall. But that would take too long for my patience and tends to overheat my M18 hacksaw.
So, like John Quiñones asks his victims of prime time network TV, “What would you do?”
