Rough-In Plumbing Diagram

i need a diagram on how to install a recurculating line on a water heater when the cold water feed is on the bottom and the hot out the top

Looking for diagram or picture that shows rough in ABS pipe installation in new concrete slab that is not poured yet. Trying to accomadate a toilet and vanity. What size pipe do I need coming up for the toilet? 3" or 4"
the top of the pipe should be flush with slab or recessed?

Is there some type of flange that should go in the concrete?

Dave,

Is there a software program that allows one to put together computer generated rough-in drain line system? Realistically all I need is the dranage system and don't need all the bells and whistles that I find in most CAD facility software.
Thank you in advance for your help with this...

Tim,

I had a problem the other day. Let me start by saying that I have a new house. My upstairs bathroom toilet was clogged so, when I unclogged it I went downstairs. About 2 min. later, water started to come out of my ceiling fan. What's going on? It wasn't fresh water but drainage water. Did I plunge to hard or what? Is it possible that I plunged so hard that some water came out of some vent or something. I don't know anything about plumbing. My upstairs toilet is almost right above my ceiling fan if this helps you out.

Thanks,
James

I am remodeling the basement and putting in a bathroom sink that is 4' away from an existing 4" stack pipe. I am using 3 90 degree elbows to get there. Does the 1-1/2" pvc plumbing need to be installed at a slight angle to allow for better drainage?

My husband and I are building a new home in the future. I would like to start buying some bathroom tub and sink faucets when I see ones that I like. My question is....Do we need to buy the "rough-in" also, or will the plumber have this to install (if so will his rough-in be cheaper?)

We recently noticed a sewer odor after remodling our bathroom. If I close the bathroom drain it is gone. We have several things for the same drain and a 6-8" round dome cap. Could we have turned this somehow. It is hard to get to, but not impossible. thanks, E. Monnot

Thanks for the info.

would love to see a picture of a house with plumbing roughed in and all the pipes are named.

Can you show me a basement bathroom rough in from a existing bathroom

Thank you

Hi, I'm getting ready to do a basement rought-in with a 1& 1/2 bath with kitchen and washer hook up with a floor drain in the utility room. Could you help with a rough drawing. Thanks lonnie

I would like to install a toilet on the second floor. What are the requirements? Is the stack and vent the same? thank you, Joel

Hello, I have an old house that is getting it's first plumbing. I am OK with the pressurized as I have done this before. I am concerned wuth the drain plumbing lay out. Is there someone, or some service that would help with the layout of something like this?I am doing a kitchen, 1 bath and a washing machine and a water heater. They are all very close to each other.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jeff

I have two bathrooms that have a toilet in each that set back to back with only a wall separating them. both are bottom discharge toilets.I want to remodel an install two rear discharge toilets. I need a typical diagram of the possibibily for installing these units. Thanks

Dear Tim,
I am adding a bathroom in the basement. I can use the diagram in your article for my work. Mine vertical stack is 3" which is tied to a 4" horizontal drain (via a 90 degree joint) under the concrete slab. Is this OK if I tie the bathroom branch line at this joint horizontally using a Y? Also as shown in your diagram you seem to use one vent for both the sink and toilet. Why is the pipe size increased from 1.5" to 3" after the sink P-trap? Thanks a lot.

I have a builder installed rough plumbed bathroom with a concrete floor. There appears not to be room for a P-pipe for the shower. What is a solution ?

i am a plumber, what i am looking for is a program that i can draw plumbing diagrams with a mouse
then either e-mail them or
up load them to another pc
like a forum..or here !!
thanks brian

I want to install a bathroom in the attic (will be a studio apartment)could you send me a rough pipe picture ( size of pipes)of how to do it and the way to conect to the existing drain pipes.The pipes are cast iron.
Thank you

Above my bathroom will be a new bathroom. It now has roughed in piping for the toilet just above the other bathroom toilet. I want to move the toilet (it's not installed yet) to a different part of the new bathroom. Can the pipes run horizontal across the floor then downstairs? Would that cause more clogs? What other ideas are there?

the vent pipe you have is 3" going through roof... you also have a 1 1/2" pipe just below connecting to that same pipe (vertically)... It should be a 3" going all the way up without a 1 1/2" "reduced" vent pipe as you can only use a 1 1/2" vent pipe on a single fixture only and your drawing shows it being used with multiply fixtures using or being forced to use that 1 1/2" vent to 3" vent... just change that to show 3" and not 1 1/2"... kaikai113atgmail

To the lady who wanted to purchase the "rough-in"... that was the cutest thing I have read in a while... The rough-in is work that is performed, it can be electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, etc... but is is not something you purchase at the store with the fixtures...
Kaikai at gmail if you want some limited free advice. But, a licensed plumber can do the rough-in for you.

Hi i would like to no if you can how me a rough plumping for a 2 story house 1 floor is a 2bath,2bedroom upper is a 3bedroom 2bath but 1 bath will be in the master bedroom please.

can you send me drawings as to what the rough in pluming should look like for a new two bath home on sewer and water.

I don't know what code your drawing refers too but it's is really incorrect. You will not need a new 3" vent through the roof to vent a three piece fixture group. 1 1'2" is all it needs. Also, what's with the 3" drain line up stream of the water closet, then reducing back to 1 1/2"? To pick up the lavatory and tub a 2" drain line will be more then enough to service those two fixtures. Also, you need to mark the distances your branches are running. If your tub line is within 8' of the lavatory you won't need to back vent the tub. If I were the inspector, I'd sure would think this drawing was submitted my o homeowner, not a master plumber

Hey I have to desing a bathroom Room.

If i Have 7 toilets in a row with a drain of 3¨.How many vents do i need for them and what could be the size of the pipe.

when i flush my toilet it flushes ok bowl fills up like it should, but the water level in bowl slowly leaks down to where there is just a little water in bottom of bowl. a coulple of months ago it did the same thing, and then it stopped leaking down and stayed full, now its doing it again??

I'm preparing my self for the plumbing examination by the end of this year. I'm trying to prepare my self by visiting the internet as an aid besides studying the Illinois Plumbing Code Book.
After looking at your skecth above i do not see a vent (normally 2") for your toilet. Is it not required in your town?

I replaced a toilet in a downstairs bath about 5 yrs. ago. It is plumbed between a tub/shower & sink (which have given me no poroblem in drainage when the toilet gets clogged, that leaves me to believe it is a internal toilet problem). It is a handicapped toilet (sits higher). Within the last 18 mos., I have had problems with the toilet becoming clogged. I have tried plunging, bleach, Liquid Plummer, & have had 3 plumbers out to open the toilet. The last plumber, pulled the toilet & found nothing to cause the clog, stated that the toilet had a bad mold from the factory (the "throat" on the toilet did not flare as it should. When the toilet was pulled (finding nothing to cause the clog) I took note of the design of the "throat". It appeared to be a straight ceramic tube from the toilet trap). Is the "throat" supposed to be flared or did the plumber misdiagnose the problem. I do not want to repace the toilet, if the problem lies in another direction. I have a septic system, but the system is not the problem. Any suggestions?

I am moving my washer over to a drain that leds to an upstairs bathroom, we are having trouble finding a plastic pvs pipe 3 1/2 inches to complete the plumbing for the washer hose. any ideas?

I have reciently had a new subfloor installed in our back bathroom and I will install a new toilet and sink. My question is: the new subfloor does not support the cast rion toilet flange and so the flange to the pipe is free standing, is this okay or should I re-do the subfloor around the flange so it supports the toilet flange?

My husband an I are turning an extra room into a half bath, but we can't figure out how to vent it. We are keeping the ceiling that is already up, but putting up new walls. This room is on the 1st floor. How do you recommend we vent?

New bathroom

THANKS

I'm a master plumber here in New Jersey. Same goes for NJ. If you own the home and intend to live there you can do your own plumbing. I must say though, that after reading some of the questions here I can understand why some area's don't allow homeowners to do their own plumbing.

I have 2 washing machines side by side and I'm starting to smell sewer gas coming out of the drains -they both have seperate drains but not sure how they are vented. I'm about to open the wall and see what's going on but I'm wondering how should they be vented correctly because the builders of this place were ????????? not too bright from what I have seen so far.
