Re: 2x6 Walls Plumbing Code


Why don't you look it up in the code book?

Why are you asking this question?

Did you ask the plumber that you use or are you doing plumbing without a license?

Re: 2x6 Walls Plumbing Code


You got my name wrong it's Ron not ***
And the answer is there is no code for plumbing wall, if it fits it can go in it.

You must not know nothing about plumbing, hope to have good insurance cause you will need it.

Re: 2x6 Walls Plumbing Code


Thanks for the reply. I did grab a book this morning and look it up. No I'm not a plumber, but come on - this stuff isn't rocket science. I've accomplished much harder things than plumbing a bathroom...and frankily, I can't trust contractors based off of prior experiences with some of the people that I've hired. I refuse to hire anyone to do something that I can do.

I pride myself on the fact that I built our 24'x32' addition (3 floors) by myself. The only thing that I subbed out so far was the block work and the shingles. I also pride myself in the fact that I completly gutted our existing house and ran all new everything. I saved myself a lot of money, and I know that the work was done at very high quality.

Yes, It may take some time to research how do do everything the right way, but I take the initiative to do so.

Thanks again
