You had one job!

Plumbers miscalculated the placement of the pop up on the 3rd step. Shotcrete crew caught the error and left a notch for the plumbers to move the plumbing forward. I hope the can fix it quick so it won't delay construction! Tile finishes tomorrow and cleanup is Monday.

Oops!

i would be leaving a slab of beer for the concreters
they went out of their way to help you out
and should be rewarded
they could have easily concreted over it and said not my problem
good to see a tradesman/woman that cares

Agreed... although I’m leaning towards a tradeswomen being the one that made this call [emoji6]

So this is what the plumber did. The horizontal portion of the pipe is below the top of the shotcrete but my fear is that the pop up head will bottom out into the elbow of the pipe when they install the heads. Does this seem right to you?

 

[riley00dog]

I have no idea but bumping for you so hopefully someone who knows can comment. I can see you concerns.

 

[Carriveaua]

I put a piece of paper on the top of the step so you can see where it will hit the pipe. I also contacted my superintendent. They are installing the pipe caps today.

 

[riley00dog]

They might be able to plaster a little thicker in that area. Glad you brought it up with your superintendent.

Sure looks like it should be lower to my eyes...even with a 1/2"-3/4" of plaster added it doesn't leave much for the fitting - but I would need to see how the fitting sits on or in the pipe to be certain. I bet your build supervisor can show you that. I would make sure they show you exactly how it all fits and if not make them lower it a bit more.

 

[Carriveaua]

The superintendent jumped on the plumbers to fix it. I’m glad I said something

Edit- That looks much better!!

Do you have any information on the pop up for the steps? I would want to see the manufacture's recommendation for straight pipe before the head and the length of the pop up body.

 

[riley00dog]

Excellent! Definitely good that you said something.

A&A magnasweep vforce. I already scoured the internet looking for install guidelines lol. Seems as long as the cap and collar sit flush in the riser, it should be ok. I have photo proof in case this gives me grief in the future.

Inspection is tomorrow and they haven’t patched the gunite yet. Will the inspector fail it, or pass with an exception that the gunite be done? I guess we shall see ...
