its in the attic so that won't be a problem.

My current understanding is this. The smell comes from the drain (sink 1) even when no sink or connectors are added. This leads me to believe that there is a siphoning issue. If this is the case, a vent exists within 38 horizontal inches and 16 vertical inches from the drain pipe. The crown...

I have a vent that was bound in by a concrete floor and can't possibly get to the roof. There was originally an AAV at the top of it but it is possible to get a pipe from there to a vent stack however the elevation of the connection to the vent stack would be lower. Both connections to the...
