I am looking at building a apartment in my garage. Can I use the Washing Machine Drain for sewage waste from my toilet, sink and shower? I was wondering what is the regulation for toilet drain pipe diameter?
Possible drain opens up to a bigger pipe below the slab? My kitchen is 40 Ft past the washer and dryer.
The house was built 1991 and the pipe is 2". It is a slab house here in Dallas TX.
I am running a 2" washer drain into 3" ABS drain pipe. I’ve got to cut the 3" ABS pipe to put a T connector in. The pipe is hanging from the ceiling. How do I do this in a graceful way and make decent straight cuts?
I am doing a new full bathroom. i have the sink vented to a 3" roof vent, i have a toilet, shower, and bathtub connected to a 3" drain pipe and vented with a 3" pipe to roof. Do i need to vent the shower and bathtub individually and connected them to the 3" vent or is the 3" vent from the main line enough?
Remodeling a house and found a copper supply line contacting a steel drain pipe in the wall. Copper which contacts steel will corrode. What can I insert between the two pipes?
Electrical tape? Small piece of rubber? Foam pipe insulation sleeve?
Cant re-do the plumbing. Its a 4 inch stud wall with a vertical 3- 4 inch drain pipe. The copper supply runs horizontally across it ( and touches it) . In other words, there isnt much space to play with, within a 4 inch stud wall.
Hello I have a problem. I recentley tore apart a bathroom. when i was
going to replace the floor i noticed a rusted peice of cast iron drain pipe (for bathtub and toilete) The rust is right at the v joint that goes to
the tub and toilette is there anyway to remove one of these joints or do you have to cut them out. I have gone through the rest of the house and the pipes are fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated

DunbarPlumbingForums.com NORTHERN KENTUCKY PLUMBERS The video shows firsthand how plumbers putty can break down over a short period of time and cause leaks at connecions that need to stay waterproof. Putty can also cause problems with synthetic marble or granite, plastic or composite whereby the oil base of plumbers putty can slowly leach into the sink’s surface and cause issues with staining or material breakdown. Often, plumbers will recommend a “new” type of plumbers putty that is not damaging to the above type of sinks. Too often with both products, the material hardens over a short time and does not perform the function that the product should provide, at least as long as the disposal/strainer or any other type of installation is involved. For some areas across the nation and the globe, plumbers putty is a code requirement. Proper amounts of putty when used is crucial, most times issues arise from using too much putty which can cause leaks over time. We welcome any questions or opinions on this video, we are sure that people will argue the benefits of putty as it is a hotly debated topic on plumbing forums across the internet. Dunbar Plumbing for a number of years used plumbers putty but the reasonable choice these days for reliability is silicone sealant. A product that withstands aging quite well and is resistant to water simply by it’s chemical makeup. Contact Dunbar Plumbing @ 859-359-4833 to schedule …
I began snaking my kitchen sink. It picks up two apartments below on the way to the stack. The downstairs apartments are draining well and as I have now exposed the pipe I can SEE the snake inside the drain pipe all the way to the stack. The clog seems to be between my apartment and the one beneath but why can I see the snake yet water will still not drain? I also snaked the vent. I’m at a loss
I want to put an additional sink across the kitchen from the main sink. The drain pipe is up in the joists under the kitchen and I would have to cross the joists to connect to it. I don’t have enough room to tilt a 10ft solid piece of PVC but could snake and pull a flexible pipe if such a product exists. Does such a thing exist?
