I dont know any chicago building codes but it seems like theres alot of oversized vents and individual vents :/ and where im from the dashes on your fittings indicate threaded fittings. Its cool to see what other places do though. Good luck on the exam

Mark, could you let me know what I did wrong?? I tried To PM you but don't have 25 yet. I've asked other Plumbers and can't get a straight answer, and most say it looks good. I know I'm asking a lot here but I joined the PZ to get good advise from good Plumbers.

just a couple observations...

Make sure you check your fixture unit values for venting to make sure you have the right sizes

when the flow on your waste pipes go from horizontal to vertical, you do not need long pattern 90's. Regular ones are fine for that application. you only need them for vertical to horizontal.

In the basement, if that is a mop basin, you need to change that to 3".

I've been an illinois plumber for 25 years. Good luck on the test.
