Doesn't UPC Principle 4 (4:00) conflict with the illustration in your Horizontal Wet Vent Violations video, because the 'correct' illustration in that video shows the WC upstream of the lav connection? Or am I not understanding the way "downstream" is intended by the code for this assembly? Thanks.
He said ipc , w/c must be the furthest upstream, and later that under the upc the w/c must be furthest downstream. My area is ipc, and now I'm confused about something already confusing
@@patrickreaves8053 Sorry. It can be confusing. If you watch again, I only state that the toilet has to be the most upstream for UPC. IPC does not have that requirement.
@@plumber-tom9470 your right, it wasn't later in that video, it was a different video. as a watched all of your videos and was able to figure it out . Thanks for the response
Principle 4 upc wet vent req: w/c must be downstream of fixture drain serving as wet vent..... Soooo which is it? The most upstream or the most downstream??
Per UPC 908.2.4: Paraphrasing, WC must be furthest DOWNSTREAM. His illustration, while correctly quoting UPC, is wrong for UPC. The illustration shows the WC farthest upstream. Keep all wet vented connections upstream of the WC connection, even if you have to loop one or more back around (observing proper slope). Read all of 908.2. There area only 5 sections. Read it, then read it again, and again until you comprehend it. That's what I did. :) If you have a fixture in the group, or any other fixture on the house for that matter, that has it's own vent, then it can connect downstream of the WC. Kind of a duh statement, as your main drain line may pass other fixtures in the house on it's way out of the house.
The toilet has to be downstream. In UPC 908.2.4 I think it is a little vague. I interpret that to mean that the connection for the toilet needs to be downstream of other fixture connections to the wet vent.
I am looking to purchase the course, but for the whole ipc code book or at least the most important point of it with the same layout as this video, do you have something like it?
anything involving upc plumbing code is super helpful to apprentices like myself. Thank you & keep up the good work.
Thanks. I hope to start creating UPC content within the next year.
I like to enroll on your courses.
Sure thing! here is a link to the courses I have to offer:

That may be a matter of interpretation. If UPC requires connection on the horizontal downstream, that illustration may not work for UPC.

@@patrickreaves8053 No problem. Thanks for watching!
Looking to purchase any course on IPC wet venting.
Thanks!

. I think you're confusing IPC & UPC.
