I was sent here from the John Bridge forums for a little help. I obviously don't know anything about plumbing, so I hope this will make some sense...
We're redoing our master bath, including removing a tub and moving the toilet to essentially where the tub was. The plumber wants to remove a major vent that used to service the double vanity and toilet (which will now, I guess, tap into the old tub vent). He says there's a type of vent that's used now under the sinks (schrader?) so the sink drains don't have to tap into the vent that goes through the roof.
I could have this all wrong, but I'm hoping someone here will have a clue what I'm talking about. The vent could be moved into the wall with some difficulty, but I think he just wants to get rid of it.
The toilet's moving about 7-8' so he's having to tear up the floor and run the drain (properly sloped, I hope) to the existing drain. He also said he'd insulate the new drain so we don't have a lot of running water noise in the kitchen below.
Does this sound...okay?
