We recently purchased a home that was built in 2006. The former homeowner was in the process of finishing his basement. I want to continue where he left off but I'm puzzled by the bathroom setup he has. In the picture there's a 2 inch pipe coming from the floor that has water roughed in above it. To the right is a boxed in hole in the cement with another pipe about 8 inches down.
Not in the picture is a rough in for the toilet and behind that a rough in for the sink. (Water and waste.) Since it was roughed in during construction and built only in 2006 I would think that it is already wet vented thru the lav. However, the 2 inch pipe that the guy has setup as a bath tub drain gives me pause- is that really a tub drain or is it the vent that needs to be hooked up? Based on the walls he has, it's built for a tub/shower unit. If the 2 inch pipe really is a drain (It's 23 inches from the back wall) then I'll need to build a wall to shorten up the distance...not a big deal. However, if it's a vent then I've got a lot more work to do.
Any thoughts?
