Hi All,
I'm trying to plan a new bathroom on our main floor that's directly below the one on our main floor. The pictures below say it all, but in essence I'm trying to vent a sink and toilet without running pipes up the wall at the fixture locations. I've got lots of space in the basement to work with, so I've come up with a few ideas.. Will any/all of these work for me?
In terms of local code, I haven't found a good guide, so I'm trying to wade through the actual code as I can. It looks to me like any of these configurations could arguably meet the maximum length to trap. However, there is a bit in there that says that the vent must attach to the fixture above its flood line. I don't understand how this is possible considering that the flood line of a typical vanity is pretty much level with the outer surface of the vanity.
As I said, I'm finding the plumbing code opaque, so any advice would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Eldon
