You're welcome and kitchen vent is now on the list.

I couldn't agree more. I'm at about 90%.

Good stuff

Thank you very much!

I would consult your local building department and I've seen it done before, but keep the clean out.

Yes, most drains require a vent for each fixture, like a toilet or sink.

You have an interesting problem that I would need a lot more information before make suggestions. Pouring water into the toilet bowl allows it to go out of toilet and into drain. Are you suggesting that at one time the toilet water level was higher and if so email me some pictures so I can take a look.

@@gregvancom thanks for your reply, yes the problem is weird, the water level doesn’t raise up when I pour water into the bowl, anyway I will take some photos first, thank you

Check with local building codes, but most 3 inch vertical pipes can be used to install more fixtures than a two inch pipe.

You always need to vent every single fixture. Those vents need to be within a certain distance of the size of the pipe used for those traps. If the vent is too far away (too low) then it will syphon the trap. A wet vent is simply a vent that is also used by another fixture to drain waste water.

I would search the internet for "different drain pipe connectors". If you can't find it, email me a picture of your pipes.

It might not be to code. I do have other videos on this, but it usually can't slope more than a quarter inch per foot.

horizontal pipes need to have a slope of 1/4" per foot. It's not a lot to the naked eye, but its actually optimal for waste water systems. Sloping it more will have a negative affect on your vent and will likely syphon your trap. Where the horizontal section drops to a larger drain pipe there should also be a vent.

It will depend on your local building codes but I've seen lots of kitchen sinks with or with out traps.

There are building codes that only allow a certain amount of fixtures on certain sized vents. A three inch vent will allow more fixture connections than a smaller sized vent.

I don't have any tips here. Wait and see if it works fine and if not, then you would have a legitimate complaint.

Yes, for the most part the drains just need to keep the water moving towards the sewer of septic tank.

Not if it has it's own separate vent.

It would depend on the design.

regs are 6ft maximum

Yes toilets require a dry or wet vent.

Yes, you can only put a specific amount of drainage fixture units according to the size or diameter of a drainage pipe. This will also affect venting these fixtures.

A wet vent myst be a whole pipe size bigger to allow for no back pressure, proper drainage and sufficient venting.

My understanding is that the first one 912.3 would apply to the example in this video and the 915.2.2 is for a horizontal drain that would allow more fixtures to drain into it horizontally before turning up and going out the roof.

It can, if the pipes are older and partially clogged, but if they are designed correctly, can easily handle more than one fixture draining into the waste pipes at the same time.

I like it.

Yes, absolutely

The section above the drain or gray colored pipes.

I would need to see the building code you're referring to, but something like this usually works.

Your close, on a wet vent the smaller (lav) always go's over larger(toilet or washing machine). Horizontal drains it doesn't matter ,no traps to possibly suck dry unlike a wet vent.

Thanks for sharing.

You can have multiple fixtures on a dry vent.

I've never heard of a maximum length, so as long as needed, but they can't be used between floors on multi story buildings.

Did you have a problem seeing with the white background and I can't remake or change the video.

I would need more details. What does a twisted below 45 mean?

@@gregvancom I forget the exact terminology, but I guess Rotated would be more applicable word than twisted. As in rotating around the center of the lateral drain pipe/fitting. Drain, waste, and vent plumping is not my specialty, but a pipe that Only vents can connect with a 90° sanitary tee pointing straight upward(or within 45° from that). A 90° tee most be rotated so it points to the side of the lateral(by rotating between 45° and 90° from when it's pointing straight up). That's because the inside of a tee doesn't have a continuous sloping wall directing the waste in the proper direction while maintaining steady flow. It should never be a sanitary tee on it's back unless it's only used for venting. However, whatever the tee fitting it is, if a junction receives waste water, it won't facilitate the flow direction and necessary velocity if there's suddenly a point it drops into open air and hits the bottom of the pipe. By not maintaining a continuous pipe wall to act as a path for the WW, it robs the momentum and can lead to damage or clogs. Hence why it's only vent pipes may be used pointing up. 1) Straight lateral pipe: _________________ →→→→→→→→ _________________ 2) Vent only junction of lateral pipe: ______| ↓ |______ →→→→ →→→→ __________________ 3) Wet vent junction of lateral pipe: ______| ↓ |______ →→→→↓↑ → → ___________________ (flow directions ”→” ”↓”) The 2nd and 3rd examples are both with tees pointing upwards, whether sanitary, long sweep 90, or whatever, they only differ in that the 2nd shows no reduction of flow rate because it only vents. Thusly no solid or liquids drop down and hit the bottom of the pipe or interrupt the flow of something traveling along it. The 3rd example shows a reduction of flow rate and the opposite direction of force which reduces momentum. Even if it's a combination wye and 45° elbow, I think it's treated as the same thing. Does that make sense? Rather, I know how it all works does make logical sense, but whether I've explained it well enough for others to understand is what I'm asking. Because I feel like I made up half of that since I'm not an actual plumber and I'm going off my memory regarding code and also off my reasoning for how waste water flows in a pipe. I mean it's not something I do professionally or with any frequency nor am I as highly educated as say Neil DeGrass Tyson. I might be wrong in my understanding that **it flows downhill. I'd say a cliff doesn't let *it flow downhill as much as rain down hell if you're below and unlucky to be the bottom of the pipe....

@@deadmanswife3625 thanks.

@@jackovoltraids5937 Nice examples and A++++ for what might be the longest reply. I think the best argument I would have is that wet vents draining into a vent that as a longer bend like a sweep connector connecting below should provide the same result as a separate drain with separate vent.

Wet vents usually require special fittings or longer turns where a dry vent can often use short bends. It's all in the way the fittings and pipe layout is designed.

@@gregvancom Thank you.

Not if your local building codes won't allow it, because you have to many fixture units. Find out what your maximum fixture units are for a 2 inch wet vent to verify.

Go to our website for different pipe sizes.

This would be difficult to answer, provide me with more details or a video for more information.

Did you figure it out?

If the water fill valve is set to allow too much water in the bowl your toilet can "double" flush.
