Hi, I'm doing a remodel on a small 5x8 bathroom to switch the position of the toilet and sink/vanity (shower is staying put). Sorry for the non-precise terms for things, thanks in advance for any help.
My galvanized vent piping looks in pretty good shape and I'm trying to keep this easy and not mess with it.
With the short distance I am moving the two fixtures, I'm looking for some experienced advice on if the distances look good enough to just keep the vents in place and essentially only lengthen the existing drain piping.
a) Sink: replace the current connection to the trap arm so it runs inside the wall for about 32 inches and then give it a 90 degree turn out of the wall and connect up a trap as normal. It's 1 1/2" pipe.
b) Toilet: Cut the cast iron on the toilet drain with a snap cutter and replace it with ABS, lengthen it about 32" in the other direction. It's 4" and goes right to the main drain out of the house. The vent going up and out the roof 2" (single story).
Thanks!
