No you cannot mix the fittings, the properties from the galvanised pipe will weaken the properties in the brass. It is always best to either change or repair a pipe or fitting with the same material.

What are the differences between a sanitary tee and a wye fitting in plumbing systems?

A sanitary tee fitting is used in plumbing systems to connect a horizontal pipe to a vertical pipe at a 90-degree angle, while a wye fitting is used to connect a horizontal pipe to a vertical pipe at a 45-degree angle. The wye fitting is better for maintaining smooth flow in the plumbing system compared to the sanitary tee.

What is the pipe formula for the take off of a tee?

The same as a short radius 90 of that same pipe size. I Rule of thumb, for example: 1/2 inch copper tubing you would take off 1/2 inch, likewise 3/4 tubing take 3/4 inch. Your question is 'pipe' are you actually using pipe, cutting and threading pipe? I am often asked questions and find that people are not using 'pipe'. Copper tubing, pvc, cpvc, dwv are quite forgiving when it comes to a slight miscut. Iron and galvanized piping is a different story, get it right the first time!


Can you connect a new toilet to an older toilet vent?

Yes if the vent pipe is 4" and vertical by code and there is nothing connected between your toilet tee and where you would connect your new toilet tee. If not worried about codes then yes you can connect to a 3" vent line if no other vent lines are connected down stream. If you have a vent pipe that is less then 3" and or you have other vents connected between your old toilet tee and your new toilet tee then NO you can not connect a new tee for your toilet.

How do you tap into an existing 3 PVC drain pipe in order to insert a tee connector?

Measure the length of your tee, subtract 1 1/2 to 2 inches for each socket depth on the ends. The amount that is left over after you subtract for the sockets is what you want to cut out of the existing pipe. You should be able to spread the pipe apart enough to fit the tee in place when ready to glue. Or you can buy a saddle for the size pipe you want to hook in and use a hole saw for that size pipe and drill the hole in the 3 inch on the side. The saddle will fit around the pipe and cover the hole and now you have a non spliced tee. And make sure you use purple primer and heavy duty grey glue when gluing this. It will never leak and does not disolve from harsh toilet bowl cleaners.
