I've been too busy with work to complete the plumbing but I hope to this weekend. I even had to pay for a building permit extension because mine expires this month.

Pics will also be posted up and I hope to call for the plumbing inspection Tuesday.

No problem Todd, Just trying to fit in! LOL still thinking about heated floor? Getting ready to do another 1 if you'd l in ke to come help

I think I completed the plumbing and I'm ready for inspection. As always, let me know if something doesn't look right.

Here is the apartment bathroom. Probably not the cheapest or easiest way but each trap has it's own 2" vent line. The 2nd, 3rd & 4th pic show the tub rough in box. The trap will be embedded in concrete. Do you see a problem with that? The wall that the vents go up through is a load bearing 2x8 wall with a 2' wide x 16" deep grade beam.

More pics. 2nd pic is the kitchen sink & the 3rd is a 3" pipe that will go up to the 2nd floor for a bathroom on the shop side.

I may have screwed up here. A day before we pored the footer I shot the level and found I didn't have enough slope for the sinks and floor drains so I ran a 4" pipe and used a sanitary tee instead of a 4"y. I don't know why I did that. That pipe is now in the concrete and will be a pia to change. Maybe Mr. Inspector won't see that. Actually there are 2 sanitary tee's at this joint.

Here is a shot the north wall. The pipe closest will be for a washing machine.(wife doesn't like me washing my rags in her washer)

The other 2 pipes are for sinks if needed.

That was a lot of work getting all that in the ground. All pipes have about 1/4"/foot of slope. Let me know if you see any issues please. I'm going to call for an inspection this week...I hope.

I forgot to post a pic of the corrected floor drain trap vent. The 2" pipe on top going out to the left is the vent. It follows the drain line going to a sink on the south wall. The other floor drain was done the same way but it will go to the roof from another location.

Lookin good Oak,

You said you don't have enough slope in that drain. How much is there?

Oak · #**115** 10-15-2018, 11:39 AM

Thanks Coop. All drains now have 1/4"/foot. If I didn't put that 4" down that is embedded in the footer I didn't have enough. That is why I did that one run. I hope Mr. Inspector is okay with that.

Ah ok.. then you should be ok

FAILED

I have a couple problems....(don't we all)

I need to make a 10' riser, cap off all pipes and fill with water....easy enough.

This 4" pipe is embedded in concrete. The 1st & 2nd pic show it before the concrete and the 3rd is after the pour. The inlet is exposed but the outlet is about 7-8" buried within the concrete & lots off rebar. They will not allow this because they say the pipe can crack. The pipe must be exposed so that they can see it. Now I need to rent a saw and cut that portion of the concrete out. That is gonna suck!

Now I need to think about moving the other 4" pipe that runs parallel with this one back into the dirt.

I'm thinking lots of 4 letter words will be said during this process.

Hang in there pal.. it could always be worse.. good luck in making the changes

darkminion_17 · #**119** 10-16-2018, 06:29 PM

Maybe you can say it is....what it is...
Only thing I can think of is stick a 3" pipe in the 4", and say the 4" is a sleeve.
Any pipes in concrete have to be sleeved if they are to be in the concrete.

I have been keeping up with this thread, But confused by how much concrete you have to cut out. Of course all I know about plumbing is cold on the right, hot on the left and "chit" runs down hill. Hang in there Oak you'll er done.
