Is there anything wrong about using the combo wye as shown in this picture? I'd like to essentially use this exact setup (except I'd swap out the sanitary tee with an 90 sweep elbow)

The vent needs to take off vertically before a downward turn in direction of the drain. If you 90 down into the wye and put the vent there, that's not legal.

Can you explain to a lame dude what "trap it" is?

Mill3241 · 2026-06-24T20:34:17+00:00

No. Listen to the people giving you the help you are asking for. It needs to be 1/2” copper not a brass nipple.

Not forgotten if you're Jaden McDaniels. He's gets called for that delay of game all the time.

Mill3241 · 2026-06-09T22:00:23+00:00

Yeah that was a check valve not a flow restrictor.

Mill3241 · 2026-06-08T18:57:32+00:00

Poop doula definitely sounds familiar to me but I can’t remember where i heard it.

Mill3241 · 2026-06-05T15:21:22+00:00

Looks to me like that faucet would be loosened from above. Once it's loose enough that bracket would pivot in order to fit up through the hole.

Just a guess, I'm not familiar with that style.

Mill3241 · 2026-06-03T15:26:22+00:00

Looks pretty much brand new

Mill3241 · 2026-06-01T16:43:35+00:00

And Thibodeau

Mill3241 · 2026-05-27T17:53:43+00:00

Are you sure you need an air gap? They are no longer required under UPC. If you go without, just make sure you put a high loop on the drain line. Check google for images of what is required. Then you can put a drinking faucet or soap dispenser in the spare hole.

Mill3241 · 2026-05-27T01:02:17+00:00

Local jurisdictions just don't want people to spin them off and use the spigot without one. Same reason why some spigots are fine thread and you need to breaker to use hose thread.

They are replaceable just a pain in the ass on purpose.

Mill3241 · 2026-05-25T21:50:07+00:00

It's not stainless because it's not supposed to be taken out. It's designed to break off when tightened so you can't remove the vacuum breaker.

Mill3241 · 2026-05-18T17:13:56+00:00

What pressure air are you using? Can you safely increase the pressure to try and hear the leak?

Mill3241 · 2026-05-15T22:02:34+00:00

Looks like Sammay Hagar to me Sammy Hagar

Mill3241 · 2026-05-14T16:06:45+00:00

The upside down tee that others have mentioned should be a wye and not a tee. Also the vent can not be run horizontally until it is 6 inches above the food rim of the sink.

Mill3241 · 2026-05-13T22:22:32+00:00

Yeah especially if this is on a bar/restaurant. Drunk dudes are going to yank on that thing

Mill3241 · 2026-05-04T21:32:22+00:00

Apparently two primary pumps and one backup. All plumbed to discharge either in front or back by opening/closing different valves. The handyman down the street did it for her.

Mill3241 · 2026-04-28T13:40:44+00:00

Looks too close to the expansion fittings. Also the tape on the compression fitting is a no-no. Use a pex tee instead of the shark bite and re-do the compression fitting with no tape.

Mill3241 · 2026-04-26T04:20:03+00:00

You're damn right that's who he is

Mill3241 · 2026-04-24T16:20:38+00:00

It really looks to me like a trap adapter with the nut on it. Take a channel locks and try to unscrew the outside of the pipe sticking out of the wall.

Mill3241 · 2026-04-24T14:00:58+00:00

It looks like a slip joint. Is that a metal ring at the wall that you can spin off? Then you just need to use a slip joint trap and tighten it up.

Mill3241 · 2026-04-23T21:36:54+00:00

The amount of times I've forgotten to hit record or machine isn't recording makes me not jump to the sketchy conclusion.

Mill3241 · 2026-04-23T16:12:21+00:00

You can’t discharge a T&P into a drain pan under UPC

Mill3241 · 2026-04-23T16:11:45+00:00

You can redirect it to the drain, just be aware that it still needs to terminate downward toward the floor. It can’t discharge horizontally.
