DWV remodel for new bathroom
Terry and crew,
I am a DIYer trying to route my DWV piping for a new bathroom i am building. The room used to be a bedroom and is on the 2nd story above an unfinished basement. The joists run from top left to bottom right (2X10s). I live in WV which does not require me to meet any specific codes, but how would you all do this?? The drains pretty much must run as I have them drawn. My issue is how do I vent these two fixtures (w.c. and tub)?? There are the only two alternatives for traditional venting I have been able to come up with. Plan #1 (top picture)has horizontal runs of vents (which is bad if it's below 6" above the fixture flood level right?) but plan 2 requires me to drill a 3 1/2" hole in one of my joists as well as running two vertical vents up an already existing wall (w/ drywall already). Should I use an AAV for one or both of these instead?
Thanks!
