I live in a city in the United States that has pretty strict Plumbing code, the first picture set up wouldn't even be close to Legal . Not only are wet vents frowned upon here that vent is way too far away from that toilet. Our vents can't be any more than 5 ft from the toilet

So a entire wet vent could be horizontal? Like if you are picking up a toilet, 3x2 wye to a lav wet vent with a 2 inch wye off of that to pick up a bathtub. This entire line could be horizontal, other than ofcourse the vertical portions to pick up the fixtures? the first 3x2 wye does not need to be nominally vertical? I worked with a journeyman that always rolled this wye. Was he just mistaken?
@mattstiglic4 ай бұрын
Wouldnt fly here in NY. Trap for shower needs to come off the end run of the wye, and the vent needs to come off the bull, rolled up as to keep the vent above centerline of the waste.

I haven't studied the codes in the States. I know Canadian codes are different from US codes and they do not perfectly align. A real shame though, we should establish a harmonized code. At the end of the day, shit flows down hill with proper design and venting.

I have not specifically made a video for this aspect. What you are describing is a flat vent. Every vent that travels horizontal below the flood level rim of the fixture it serves, needs to have a clean out fitting installed at one end of it. Your local inspector might not accept this though, they have the power...

Hello Kelly, these videos are great to watch. I have a question about wet venting. I will do my best to describe my question. I will use north, south, east and west. Sewage will flow south. So at the north end of the bathroom there is a toilet which is the beginning of a 3" pipe. 2 feet south of the toilet on the east side of the 3" pipe a 2" shower pipe will drain into the 3" pipe. Not vented. Then about 18" south of the shower connection on the west side of the 3" pipe is a 2" lav pipe which is vented and will be the wet vent for the toilet and the shower. Does it matter that the wet vent is south of the shower and toilet. Is the order for venting OK. Thank you.

So why can a wet vent connect in below the horizontal center line but a regular vent needs to be above the center line of the pipe? The pipe i'm venting, i don't have the vertical clearance to roll that Y coupler up to have that vent pipe coming out the top half of the pipe. I only have room to Y connect it in on the same plane like at 4:33

Last connected fixture or most downstream fixture in the wet vent (which is regularly a WC) is never counted in the wet vent fixture units. Think about it this way. The last connected fixture is draining into a branch or SOW stack, it is not draining into the wet vent itself. So no county!

@@jtoker9758 We use all that terminology too, and you are not wrong. A sanitary tee is not a straight tee and not a wye, but somewhere in-between. So TY was born as a slang way to reference a sanitary tee. This is used across much of western Canada possibly into parts of the east too. It is simply a way to shorten a longer word, time is money right? If I went to other parts of the world I may try asking for a TY, but I would reword it the official way if I was met with a blank stare.
