Hey everyone, I'm new here and need some advice. I'm thinking (more of in need of) replacing my old galvanized pipes with PEX. I'm pretty handy and have read just about everything there is on how to do the installation, but I'm wondering what I will need to do to pass the plumbing inspection (I live in Minneapolis, MN). I know everyplace might be different, but I'm wondering if I need to purchase a pressure gauge or if the inspection is done off of street water pressure. Any ideas and help would be great.
Second question. In the future I want to add a new bathroom in the basement. Currently there is only a shower down there and the vent pipe passes right across the only window (unsightly). I was wondering if I could run the vent line parrallel up in a bay between two ceiling joists, then drop the line 90 degrees down to connect with the original vent line (does this make sense?) which runs perpendicular. I attached a crappy sketch of what I'm talking about.
Thanks for the help!
