I am remodeling a bathroom in my home, which is on a slab. I would like to replace the 30 x 60 tub with the swanstone 32 x 60 retrofit shower base. My question is in reference to venting of the new shower stall. The main vent is 3" cast iron. My sink is approximately 24" c/l of drain to the left and drains into the 3" vent and the toilet connection is directy in front of the vent.
The tub drain c/l is approximately 36" to the right of the cast iron vent. The existing tub drain is 1-1/2" and I believe converts to 2" below grade. Some literature that I read indicates that a vent should be within 5' of the trap and following the run of the drain I should be within that criteria. Do I need to install a dedicated shower vent or not. By the way there is a slab rough in at the tub drain area that is approximately 14" x 14" so I have a little room to work, howerver this would obviously be covered by the new base and would be difficult to vent there.
Thanks
Rick
