hi,
I first want to say that this forum is a great resource. I've been reading the LA plumbing code and this forum off and on for several months.
I'm planning to fix my incorrectly plumbed half bathroom. The existing vent is upstream from the toilet and I have a sanitary T on its back. I know this cannot be done so I'm going to replace it all.
Please take at a look at my attached isometric to see if I have my head wrapped around this conceptually. This plumbing is in the crawlspace under my house. I think I'm going to have to relocate a 1/2" water line to keep the 2" vent as a vertical vent (45 degrees).
Also... one caveat... New Orleans (where I live) has a supplemental code that requires a full size vent. So by code I'm required to have a 3" vent on this toilet. The only way to accomplish this is to run a 3" piece of PVC up the side of my house, which I don't want to do. Louisiana only requires a 2" vent, and this 2" vent is in a 2x6" wall.
Thanks in advance... if this looks ok I'll get some fittings and pipes and get things roughed in.
