Hey All,
Just did the DWV plumbing in my home, remodeling and first time home owner. Everything is new and previously (2019) passed code, woohoo. Stack and vent are 3". Currently 1 tub, 1 toilet, 2 sinks, 1 dishwasher.
Had my septic done, and specifically ask for (and had passed) my 50% larger request to allow for a basement bathroom. Now is coming time to start planning to do such renovation. I am allotted a convenience bathroom which by my septic designers standards, allows for a stand up shower.
I currently have a very short stack and run because all my fixtures are on the same wall and close to the septic outlet which sits high off the floor. Right now, I have a 2" pipe with an AAV that my washing machine pumps/ drains into (up in the ceiling).
I am wondering if I plan on adding my macerating toilet, how many fixture units does that account for? (since 2" can only have 6 units). Before I sealed up the walls, I installed a 2" vent pipe from the basement to the stack in the attic so I am not worried about ditching the AAV and finding a vent. Pre - planned for that one.
I have attached a photo of what I would like to do. Washing machine last in line, discharging into my utility sink. The sink would then discharge along the wall and connect to my toilet. The stand up shower (on a base) and lav sink would Wye into this same 2" as well if possible. I've attached the link for the toilet and pump id plan on using, which has 2" inlets and is rated for these fixtures to be attached. > https://www.saniflodepot.com/collec...-toilets/products/saniflo-sanibest-pro-toilet
Because it is so short, I could also add a 2" wye at the end of my run where I have a clean out so I could separate the wash/sink from the shower/sink/toilet, but it would require a lot more plumbing. The stars on my picture indicate where I could connect my plumbing.
