Drain and Vent

Your bathroom, drawn to the code.

Pick the room the way it is framed. It draws in the isometric a plumber sketches for the inspector, and the rough-in sheet behind it has every drain and vent sized, every fall and every height.

Before a single fitting is glued.

The walls are open and the subfloor is cut. This is the hour that decides the inspection: which pipe is the vent, how big each drain is, how far the sink can sit from its vent, how high the shower valve goes. Get it on paper first and you buy the fittings once.

What is on a rough-in sheet

  1. Sheet 1

    The riser drawing

    Every drain and vent pipe at its size, vents dashed, falls marked, where each fixture ties in.

  2. Sheet 2

    Plan and wall

    Every drain located from the walls; every stub-out, valve and head height on the plumbing wall.

  3. Sheet 3

    The counter list

    Every fitting by name and size, counted, plus the trap arm checks and the test the inspector wants.

$7 for your room. Three Letter pages, on screen right after paying and in your email.

The rooms

Checked before it is drawn

  • Branches sized for the fixture units they carry (IRC Table P3005.4.1)
  • Every trap within its distance to a vent (Table P3105.1)
  • Wet vents sized and ordered as P3108 requires
  • AAVs placed as P3114 requires
  • Falls by pipe size (P3005.3)

When to call a plumber instead

  1. Your city requires a license for new drains. Many do; the building department will tell you.
  2. You are tying into cast iron or a main stack you cannot see the bottom of.
  3. The sewer is above the basement floor and you have never set an ejector pump.
  4. Gas lines are in the same wall. Those are never DIY.
