Backup batteries made with lead are also getting more expensive. This is because China is buying it all up for the toys they're sending us.

ditto, that's what i'm doing.

if you're going to wet vent the bath group, doesn't everything being wet-vented HAVE to be above the WC?

Found this on another site, it seems legit, would this arrangement work for my situation?

Here's what the site said: Where there is only one...

the vent is going to be 2 inch, is that big enough? (note: this is a separate vent for the laundry tub and the planned bathroom downstairs, and has nothing to do with moving the stack)

I COULD, but the reason for doing so is that this is my laundry room, and i'm making it into a laundry/utility/bathroom and i'd like the extra space...

the rest of the under slab plumbing is on...

here are a couple overhead drawings of the existing and proposed layout.

i was planning on venting the tub... thanks for the advice, what is the purpose of the 4x3 reducer? I'll do it that way if there's good reason to. Is it because the 4" pipe can have more air in it?

i'm thinking option 2 is best, with the vent slightly up from horizontal on the toilet line. I'd like a second opinion, though...

got that, the things i'm more concerned about are above the slab... i was wondering if option 1 or 2 is best for the wc meeting the main stack, or if there's a third way that's better?

i should clarify, i didn't do that hack job with the laundry sink into the cleanout... it was like that when I bought the house, one of many things I hope to correct by doing this. Also, the toilet...

Hi all, this is my first post, but I've been a frequent reader on this forum for quite awhile.

My first question is - is there any reason that my main soil stack must be all vertical? It sits...
