The water distribution piping should be sized to account for pressure loss due to friction anyway so flow restriction wouldn’t be a concern. We’re talking 1/2 a psi here.

Not to sure but didnt anyone have plans in any of your installs?The load bearing wall looks like it was moved over in that video , I see the top plate of your wall in this video off to the side and wonder if the plumber also moved the whole wall too ? Are you sure that this other beam wasnt installed dueto the other one needing to becut out because the framers screwed up oreven the architect screwed up ?I really dont think this isthe load bearing wall being there isa wall one floor joist over .

Flow Restriction? Two 90 like that on what is probably a short run will make little difference.

Its the builders fault for not getting it right in the first place but its also the plumbers fault for just going off and doing the wrong thing.

Typical plumber. They just don’t know and really dont care about cutting up the framing. Hey, the carpenter can fix it right?
Same with all the subtrades.

That drain pipe is a 4X3 water closet flange. The plumber is given specific dimensions to where this goes as to not get it too close to either the tub/shower or the basin.
Obviously the plumber is at fault for continuing to run the plumbing, however the framer is responsible for putting the joist there, and more importantly the engineer of the home is responsible for where the joists go, so it is actually his fault.
However, the plumber should have notified the builder to put in a replacement

Obviously the builder knew that the plumber cut the I joist, the floors are already insulated. DUH!

would a support on the opposite side be a proper fix?

I don’t blame the plumber one bit. all you ever hear is WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE DONE. over and over again.

#18 written by deedi7391 1 year ago

the framer should have known the layout for the joist unless the prints were diferrent fromthe plumbers. in any case it should have been headered off to pass code

Typical example of one hand not talking to the other.
“just get it done! Push it through! Move to the next house!”

At this point a modified stud shoe can be used with an engineers approval.

its not the end of the world why couldn’t a new support be fixed to the other side this would strengthen it back up? all the plumber needed to do was talk to the builder and arrange this! problem fixed no safety issues
