Thanks for sharing! I always enjoy your videos. I am curious about the two smaller vents tied to a full size vent at the roof penetration. In my area (NC, USA) the local inspectors require a 3" stack vent from the main sewer that is continuous through the roof, but other smaller wet/dry vents can tie in to the full size.
Interesting we always do it this way. Sometimes we only do a 2” vent it just depends on how many fixture units it is venting with a 3” going through the roof we never have to worry about overloading. I do know different places have different rules but this works here in Washington state
Good Stuff Steve. I saw the reversed sanitary T just before you commented and laughed at myself for doing the same thing before. Not that big a deal up there. Did you run any pipe in the foam of the ICF? It would be nice to show the water closet assemblies to the main drain pipe and venting. Keep 'em coming.
Not a plumber. But is there some reason you did not run white PVC through the roof instead of transitioning to black ABS in the attic? And when you did go from white PVC to black ABS, why did you use a Fernco connector? Why not just glue them? There is glue that works on both types of plastic pipe.
White pvc isn’t UV approved and looks ugly. We usually paint them black. I had the abs laying around. The inspector here doesn’t like the transition glue. I used a no hub band not a fernco which can’t be used inside here only outside
@@stevedunivin OK, that explains it. PVC not UV rated, and ABS is? As for looking ugly, the house I roofed a couple years ago had white asphalt granules. So black ABS would have stood out far more than white PVC. When I said Fernco connector, I meant any and all of the rubber and band clamp style connectors. Kind of like saying Sharkbite. It is somewhat generic today since there are several other companies that make the push fit connectors for plumbing pipes.

The next video will be under the floor I have run 1 1/2 vent in the foam. But didn’t have to do it on this job

I was wrong about the uv rating my boss said we do it for looks.
