I can't remember why I went horizontal on the kitchen sink vent so low. I must have had a reason and the inspector passed it. Now I usually dirty arm the kitchen drain.

If we installed a laundry trap that close to the floor we would fail an inspection. Looks good.

Great pix. I noticed the wetwall. When I frame a house I always try to include a wetwall. (2x6 framing) Its so much easier to get the plumbing in it.

Noticed you double 45'd out from the bottom plate. (pix 3) Did the foundation get in the way??

Looking good man. Someone has some pride in their work. I also notice you "think" like I do with how you run your pipes, etc. Got some questions.

1. Why the size increase on the vent? That cold where you are? (I know the UPC at least has requirements for it in certain areas.)

2. Why a 2" outlet on the KS?

3. What kind of glue and primer?

 

[422 plumber]

Illinois code doesn't make you increase anymore. It used to, and some inspectors still make you do it, even if it isn't needed. I used regular purple primer and cold weather glue. You are right, I used the 45's because of the footing.

Far as I know, you still have to run 3" out the roof here in IL. Transition made by a smooth increaser 12" or more below the roof.

Minimum roof penetration is 3". A 3" stack doesn't need to be increased.

In Chicago it still does.

It's also a crown vent. Not allowed in IPC.

 

[422 plumber]

What makes it a crown? Does there have to be so many inches per pipe diameter between the tee and the trap?

 

[422 plumber]

This is shameful, but I can't remember the max drop into a trap is. If it's more than 34," that's an illegal install:whistling2:

Forgot about the increased stack in the photo. I had 2" on the brain when I typed that.:whistling2:

2 pipe diams. So 4"

Correct, JJ installed what is essentially an S-trap.

No cleanouts required on kitchen and laundry?

Only thing wrong I see under UPC Code is trap from floor to low and stand pipe to long and no clean out, that's it, it is not a s-trap.

Looks great!
