I'm using 2" DWV pipe for bathroom/kitchen sinks and vent. I'm in the
process of constructing the walls. Can I get by with a 2x6" wall or do
I need 2x8"? I will be boring the studs to accommodate the pipe.

If they are not load bearing, I see no problem with 2x6. But, I think
you're going to find that most fixtures are geared for 1 1/2" fittings
so why use 2 inch pipe?


It's venting to roof. I have 3" to septic, toilet. Using 2" vent.


Is this legal in your area? Here you must have at least one 3" vent line,
secondary vents for additional sinks, toilets, etc. can be 1 1/2" pipe and
if they don't tie back into the 3" main vent they must expand to 3" as they
exit the roof.
