I’m sure this gets asked frequently, but I wasn’t able to confidently decipher my basement stub in from previous posts.
My planned bathroom will have a sink near #1, a toilet near #2, and a shower near #3. I’m hoping there is some use for #3 for my shower because it’s pretty close to the correct location. Can I tie a shower drain into the top of the back flow valve, or is that meant to be left accessible for clean outs? If I need to leave it accessible, can I tie a shower drain in upstream or downstream of it?
I also included a picture from original construction, but I’m not sure it helps. The pipes in question are at the bottom-left of that picture.
1 is a 2” pipe, pretty close to the wall. Guessing this is a sink drain.
2 is a 4” pipe. I’m guessing toilet on this one.
3 is a 4” pipe that has a screw cap about 6” below grade (shown in separate picture). Looks to be a back flow valve when I take the cap off.
4 is the stack. I don’t have any questions about that.
