Hi guys,
First...thanks for all the informative posts....I've spent countless hours learning from them!
Asking for help...please view pic (I am facing the back of the house/away from the street)and any advice would be appreciated.
As per pic - #1 = 2nd floor Main bath Drain
- #2 = Vent Pipe
- #3 = Main floor kitchen sink drain (wyes into base of vent pipe)
- #4 = Main floor 2 piece bathroom drain (notice wyed, and invented bar sink drain)
Current basement has 2 piece bathroom and we would like to install a shower (highlighted area in green). I could, and still may, hire a qualified plummer, however would prefer to attempt at least the grunt work on my own. So here are my questions:
1. Where do you think my best option would be to wye the shower drain into (ie. where to dig?)
2. Do you think all drains going into concrete merge together somewhere? I have looked, and cannot find the main cleanout at the front of the house.
3. The main water line (and water meter) is right behind the toilet, just to the right of the 3" drain. If this runs straight to the front of the house, will it be a problem?
4. How should I vent the shower drain? Up from the concrete 42" high and across to the other vent pipe (#2)?
Thanks for your help!
