I was talking to a local plumber explaining my new bathroom in my basement plans, and I am leary of his answers he gave me about venting it properly.
Need some clarification on his explaination, and if it is feasable.
1st off I have broken out the concrete in the basement to expose the main sewer line. In the illustration below the underground pipe is blue.
This guy says I can cut a TEE into the 4" main and run it to where my interior wall will be, 90 up and make the run into the wall about 48" high with a AAV inlet valve on it. (said to be sure to leave access panel in drywall incase it ever needs to be replaced in future)
make my shower and toilet connections to the main with SANITARY TEES,
and run the sink drain horizontally in the wall (pitched) to tap into the main with another SANITARY TEE.
Will the AAV vent work in the basement like this?
I really have no choice because the main penetrating the floor in the illustration has NO vent at all...
Proposed piping is indicated in RED
Existing underground shown in BLUE
I need to know if this guy knows what he is talking about before I hire him to do the plumbing of the new bathroom...
