You're plumbing for a customer? Are you a plumber?:whistling2:
is this drain legal?
Will this drain be ok for inspection?
Ok I am doing a roughin on a 2 story house in Bucks County PA. Their code requires back venting so I have done so on the first floor. BUT I have run into a snag on the second floor 2 bathrooms. By customer request he wants a double bowl vanity in the first bathroom and a regular vanity in the second bathroom. Even though all of these sinks are way closer than 6' to the stack they still must be vented. I also have limited bay space because of the ductwork that has to go through the bathroom so here is what I got. Keep in mind I do have the correct pitch on the 2in and all of the pvc for that matter im more concerned about the setup for these 2 vanities sharing the same drain....I also have to have the two showers on the left of the stack (not connected yet) to share a line coming into the stack as well as tie them into the back vent on the other side. If I had more bays to work in this would be a non issue. Any advice on my current setup would be appreciated.
(BTW the pvc shown in ceiling is obviously dry fitted bc im not sure if its gonna be how I want it done yet...also the vent for the sinks is not in the shot because its above the floor and of course above the flood line)

Ah- but a bad state to be a plumber? :jester:
I did notice the OP posted an intro- guess he is a plumber :thumbup:
Not sure about your code cuz its different than what I use, but is this helpful?(piped lavs in blue line instead of the yellow)
BTW I can't use a cross either- guess you can?

thanks for the replies. Ok yea I hear ya on the double san. tee but usually yea a double fixture(see second image in post) tee is used BUT for room restraints and beings the distance of the toilets I dont think it will be a issue. I say that bc usually when using the san tee its the toilets that will give a issue when both are flushed at once, and bc of the shortness of the tee you could possibly run into problems. my toilets that will come off of this are a good 3ft away which should be enough room on the line for good flow vs them being on that tee at close range ...however maybe THIS inspector may complain...hes a real stickler this one...think I should change it?
also thanks for the though on running the 2in I also thought of that but wasnt sure on using a standard wye on there. I have in light of that decided that I can use a 3x2 tee above the floor and have the two sinks come off of that in the wall. the GREAT thing about that is I dont have to run seperate vents for them this way bc they are less (WAY LESS) than 5' from the stack and of course the rest of the stack going above the sinks will be dry. see pic below for what I mean on the 3x2 tee. thanks for the help

sorry ur wrong. I have the paperwork on the joists it specifies that you can drill as long as you are at least 1/8 inch away from top and bottom flanges...also the largest hole for these is 6 and 1/4 inch. there are actually different sizes and models of these beams. Another fact on these particular joints for example is on 2 inch holes you have to be at least a foot away from any load bearing wall where the joist meets it.

Ok....
How about that gap in the top plate of that load bearing wall? It's my understanding that you have to strap that with MST37's or something like that.
