In my 1917 Bungalow near Chicago, IL there was a toilet in the unfinished basement. I have since finished the basement and are now getting ready to tackle the bathroom. I want to add a sink and a shower to this space and have a few questions.
I removed the toilet and did some exploratory digging and found the basement closet flange and a 1-1/2" galvanized vent connected to a fitting along with a cleanout and the main floor's bath DWV going into a 6" clay tile leading to the street.
I would prefer not to mess with the clay tile so my questions are as follows:
Would it be correct if I cut the existing closet flange at the bend, add a fernco fitting and tie in new PVC or ABS DWV system for new shower, new sink, and to relocate toilet, with venting for each to tie in above the flood rim of the sink into the 1-1/2" galvanized? If so, being that this will be horizontal and under concrete, should I use sanitary tee or wye?
Thank you!
