    SS making a U-turn?

    Here's another issue I've run into. To get the new sanitary sewer line to connect to the existing line, I have to make a U-turn. That is, two 45 degree turns. Is that how it is done, or is there a better way? Thank you!

    Best route for sanitary sewer

    Thanks dbill74! I turned the outdoor cleanouts into wall cleanouts.

    2" service line to 1" distribution line

    Pedarrin2, you nailed it. Cheap strip center. Thank you for your input!

    Best route for sanitary sewer

    UPDATE Here's what I ended up doing. You can read details if you open the attachment. Will probably add floor drains to restrooms with 2 toilets and wall cleanouts for 1 toilet. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=1022cc2c-7967-4eac-aa86-a514aee79f75&file=12-16.pdf

    2" service line to 1" distribution line

    This is new construction. Developed length is 100'. WSFU is 26. Based on UPC Table 6-6 the building's service line should be 2" with a 1-1/2" distribution pipe. The 2" service line is already installed, and our client is now saying he wants a smaller distribution line because of tenant...

    Thank you! I went with the pink, and have moved the clean out away from the door. I'll consider running diagonally too.

    Best route for sanitary sewer

    I have two options for routing a sanitary sewer system in a childcare center. Initially I designed the lines shown in pink, but then re-thought it and traced out a new idea in green. Which is best, and why? Thanks!

    Change hot water heater connections to match water supply?

    PEDARRIN2, it is for a restaurant, and it is commercial grade oversized (no room for two smaller). The civil plans were approved for 1-1/4" supply, so we don't want to change the size and resubmit. Do you know if I can and how to reduce the connections? Thank you [flush2]

    Return Plenum Box

    I'm having to design a finish out on an existing office space that uses the ceiling as a non-ducted return to a main, dampered plenum. I just stuck a large return grille in the middle of the space (not even near the plenum), without duct. Each partitioned space also gets its own smaller grille...

    Change hot water heater connections to match water supply?

    I am specifying a Bradford White D-75T-125. The water connections are 1-1/2", but our building supply is only 1-1/4". What is the best (safest) way to reduce these connections? Just a simple reducing/drop adapter, or will I need a special pressure reducer? Thanks! Nathon [flush2]
