basement bathroom
Published (2009-11-29 20:03:00)
That pipe is NOT the main vent stack until it is above the highest fiture connected to it, and then you have to be 6" ABOVE that fixture's overflow level OR 42" above the floor on that level, whichever is higher. Therefore you cannot connect back to that pipe, unless you have a different system than most house's would. $1.000.00 is cheap for what I see has to be done.

Bypass the pressure switch or eliminate it altogether. Many many sprinkler systems are set up just that way. A small tank is not much better than no tank at all.

how tight to tighten a 1in union

getting rid of the tank
Published (2009-11-29 23:58:00)
No you wouldn't ruin a floor and heating system. You'd cut the drop pipe into pieces as it comes out of the well and replace the drop pipe with PE pipe through the window somehow or, take a roll into the room and unroll it down the well.

Mystery Water Oozing

Did he have some visual or other indication that the water is coming from INSIDE somewhere? If so, it could be a drain, or something like the shower head where it only leaks when the shower is turned on.

Thank you very much for those explanations and I will certainly be able to use them if need be. I have been nothing but very mad about this situation since Ive heard all these comments. As I told my wife that even if this guy told me he would come back out and get everything to code at no charge then I dont believe I want him doing the work anyway. As I said before its not codes that make me mad but rather a guy getting the pay for supposedly...

Help with trap configuration
Published (2009-11-28 18:16:00)
D, I just read your last post on here, I think we were talking about 2 different things. The anti siphon on the trap arm is the one I'm talking about. The ones that go on the tailpiece I think provide a good answer to floor drains that have a dry trap problem.

I am surprised a Home Depot person was smart enough to know that. It is DEFINITELY true, and will cause all kinds of weird symptoms if you do it. AND you also need a vacuum breaker, antisiphon device somewhere on the hose to prevent drawing the fish tank water into your house piping. You have gone beyond the DIY phase, and are entering the health/safety aspect of the job, and unless you KNOW what...

Any fairly large bucket type vacuum could be called a shop vac. They usually have a larger hose than a household vac, and many of them can vacuum up water. They usually have a filter for the motor, but the waste often is not deposited into a bag.

Needing to attach some rigid foam insulation panels to a concrete block basement foundation wall. Do I use liquid nails or something else?
Also, how do I go about taping the seams? Is there a special tape or could I possibly even use gap and crack spray foam? Not sure if that would eat into the rigid foam, if not it would seem more permanent than a tape.
I will be building a 2x4 ...

Or you can get a core driller out there.
They use diamond tipped drills, and they do a clean core without any dust.
They keep the dust down with water, which also cools the bit.
It will slice right through rebar.

1. I do not think I have EVER seen so many sanitary tees in an underground layout. One reason being that they are NOT permitted where he uses them.
2. The heater pan should NOT be connected directly to the sanitary system, regardless of where it terminates.
3. That running trap on the floor drain can cause immense problems some day.
4. From here the tub drain to the vent looks like it is going...

You'd need to attach the vent for the bathroom group ABOVE the fixtures draining into the stack on the floor above anyways. Can you not sneak a vent inside an upstairs wall and tie into the vent stack inside the attic?

Sounds to me that the pump can build pressure faster than your hose can let out. You should install a small tank , so the pump has something to wok against.

I guess you generally only use them where they're required by the limitations of the install, and there's a lot of places where using 2 45s and a few inches of pipe between would be a better solution....

The drain is quite adjustable with the P trap joints, so as long as you don't go to extremes, you'll be OK. As far as the sink is concerned, I'd center it front to back. Make it look right. If you are unsure about how the P trap is adjustable, look at one that is already installed, like under your kitchen sink.

Yes a CSV will solve this problem. The smaller the pressure tank the better though. This is because you have to wait for the tank to empty and the pump to start before the CSV can give you the constant pressure the heater needs. The smaller the tank, the sooner this happens. I don't recommend any smaller than a 4.4 gallon size tank, which holds 1 gallon of water.
