Are these considered S Traps?

[Asaraga]

Inspector is turning the rough inspection in this lavatories down. Is it fair?

 

[Asaraga]

It has been rejected with the 90 bend and also with a 45.

 

[voletl]

Did the inspector actually explain to you why you failed inspection?

I can already tell you that at least one of the drains it's too far away from the vent

 

[Matt30]

Both are s-trapped. If that's for a double vanity, it's all going to need to be re piped with a proper double sanitary tee connection and dual vent. I'm sure somebody can do you up a diagram

 

[Asaraga]

Thanks!!! Yes, its for a double lavatory, but underground rough has already been approved, so adding a new line and vent is complicated. Two different inspectors have rejected it for the traps, but allowed the single 3" vent and drain...

 

[Asaraga]

Can it be corrected like this?....

 

[frodo]

that 3'' pipe you have the 2'' tied into.

what is that? what is connected to it? is that a vent stack or a waste stack

 

[frodo]

IF the 3'' pipe is a wast stack, and not a vent.

 

[frodo]

If the 3'' pipe is a vent

you will need to bust the floor and tie into the line before the fixture drain

 

[Asaraga]

The 3" goes down through the floor tied to the sewer line, and goes up through the roof as a vent. With a clean out half way up through the wall. In the photos it would be the right part where the two 2" lines with the s traps are connected.

 

[frodo]

be advised, you are under the inspectors microscope



I would advise that you not cheat on the fall on that 2'' line

and, when you turn up with your 90, use a street 90

your drain needs to be NO MORE than 21'' from the floor to the center of the pipe, where it comes out of the wall

 

[Asaraga]

Thanks Frodo
