Hi everyone,
I'd like to put a laundry sink in my basement with a Liberty 404 to send the wastewater to my plumbing stack. I've been reading up on the subject and understand that I need to vent the pump.
The problem is this is a bear of a stack and I'm not sure how to interface the vent into it.
I haven't touched this thing: it's as it was when we moved in a few years ago. Toilet is the iron pipe on the left, vent is the one that goes straight up. The big copper pipe on the left comes from the shower, the one on the right from the bathroom sink. You can see the way the previous owners made a trap and standpipe for the washer drain. I'd probably take that apart and use it to bring the wastewater in, but I'm stumped about how to vent it.
I have little experience with plumbing, apart from an occasional sweat solder; however I'm a seasoned DIYer who's willing to put in the time and effort to read, learn and practice to do a project right without cutting corners. The drain stack in my home seems unusual compared to what I'm used to seeing in books and on the web, so I thought I'd ask if you pros have any tips for me.
Thanks!
Dan
