Hello and thanks,
We are starting a bathroom remodel, I will be building the wet walls and a licensed plumber will do the plumbing work .. with that in mind I had a quick question that could effect how the walls are built...
My question is does a vent pipe have to fall downstream of the drain?
I know it has to be within a certain # of feet depending on the size but I am wondering if it can be located in the opposite direction the water will flow ... meaning...
Lets say you had a bath and the drain ran south to the main stack .. could the vent pipe be located North of the drain ?
I hope that makes sense and appreciate the feedback.
