Hello nice folks.

Im installing a below grade ejector toilet.

What is a vent? lol...

I mean...it looks like the toilets on the first floor
dump right into the one main sewer line.

Toilets flush down one hole. Thats it.
Where does the vent thingy come into play.

I gotta find out where the vent is and tie into it..higher than any non
toilet venting appliances?

aaaawwww heck no! that's going to make the price go up! yeah I tell ya
that.

daaang, I already signed a contract too! lol...

Well, I'll just consider this a cheap education.!

hep me hep me!

wannabe!

The vertical "sewer line" or "stack" extends upward thru the
roof to a "vent" terminal which admits air as needed.

The section of stack above the toilet connections is
the "vent" pipe you are looking for. It's buried in the
wall or might be accessible in an attic.

If it's cast iron, pay attention to how you will
support all that weight when you cut a section out...

Thank you. Sounds ike excellent advice

Are S-Traps under a lavoratory sink neccessary?

The one I got does not line up under the pedestal sink
I can't see any drawbacks from leaving it out

All sinks must have a trap to prevent sewer gas from
escaping into the room.

Use a rubber flex section to make it line up
if you must.

"S" traps are no longer permitted, but if that's
the way this is set up you'll have to stick with it.

No, but you will need a p-trap.

Depends... if you consider sewer gas entering your living area to be a
drawback.

Well I be darn, who woulda thought. I bought the S-trap, maybe I need a
p-trap for the
pedestal type, probably so. just something smaller.

You gentlemen are far more help than LOWES can every imagine. haha.

Thank You.

So how do you feel about an anti-scalding device for tub spicket and
shower!
I was thinking the water gets mixed inside the spigeout, and inside the
shower head.

Anti-scald is part of the shower/tub control (faucet).
It prevents water that is too hot from reaching user.

Another similar device is "pressure balance"
(also built into faucet/control) which maintains
set ratio of Hot/Cold flow even if pressure
drops when someone flushes toilet, for example.

See if Delta site has more explanation:

Thank you, I might check that out.

I've been reading up, looks like the hot and cold do get mixed
in the faucet, I see that anti-scald device really has a seperate
function.
