It was all there. These are at our cottage. I'm not a plumber but
sink drain sizes are 1 1/4", 1 1/2", and 2" Everything is 2" and
copper. Even the ejector pump is piped in copper. I was amazed when
I saw the plumbing. All the supply lines are 3/4" copper except the
sillcocks which were added later. I've never checked, but you could
probably flush all 3 toilets and not effect someone in the shower.
I'm sure the system could handle some abuse, but there's not way in
hell I'm putting corn cobs in it. I believe if I take care of the
things I have they will take care of me. The easiest way to fix
something is to not break it.
