    HX failed as the code says 6" pvc for 80% with a P-trap at every boot to prevent backflow.
    Warranty I assume? :screwy:

    I would have used a pvc plenum just to make it look better.

    Seriously it would have been easier an cheaper to install sheet metal, was the guy a plumber? i hope none of those branch lines terminate with a closet flange, it could get nasty very quickly.

    what's funny, is it took a LOT of work to use the PVC. They "tried" to do a good job.

    Did you ever find out what his logic was for doing this? He must have had a reason.

    Was it a retrofit and he figured it would be easy to fish over a finished ceiling or something?

    Saw it on a spacepak once and figured it was okay?

    No, just a diy'er that got in over his head. Not sure what his logic was.
