Because your drawing is not isometric or 3-dimensional, it is impossible to determine if it is correct or not. Vent lines cannot be horizontal until they are above the flood rim of the highest fixture. Looking at the picture it appears that your vent lines are coming up in the middle of the room and the tub drain has 2 vents. You should also list all pipe sizes and declare what fitting is being used at each transition.
hi, and sorry the vent is going up the wall , all other pipes are in the ground, i believe i have 42" marked on the diagram for the flood rim where all of the vents join, the drain is 2" coming from all of the traps and the what looks like a second vent for the tub is the drain going to the 4 " main drain. not sure if this explanation helps or my layout is all wrong?
You are allowed to have a trap arm that is 3m (10') on a 3" line for a toilet.
Section 2.5.6.3
3) A vent pipe that protects a water closet, or any other fixture that also depends on siphonic action for it's proper functioning shall be located so that the distance between the connections of the fixture drain to the fixture and the vent pipe does not exceed
a) 1m in the vertical plane
b) 3m in the horizontal plane.
so, does this mean the distance from the vent that i willl be putting on the 3" toilet pipe(from the lav.) to the 4" sewer drain has to be no more than 10 feet? or is it the distance from the toilet to the drain.
also the 3" has to be the last most downstream vented? thanks chris
This is awkward, but...
