One of those jobs where modern code goes out the window, even good pitch. Just connect the dots and hope the tie ins don't leak! Mad Dog 🐕

How to you know it was original Matt?
Single pipe 392sqft system with an EG-40 rated for 325sqft and it's silent and balanced at all times.

Just the construction. The pipes were buried in original plaster & lathe. Homes that plumbing was added later are often run exposed in stairwells, et cetera. The Durham System (Galvanized Cast Iron drainage, waste and vent systems) were starting to go in during the 1870s & 1880s from my experience in the 5 Boros...Mad Dog 🐕

They could have opened it up and plastered over it. i suppose it isn't impossible but it would have been lead until the late 20's or so.
