I'm doing a bathroom reno in my condo. The condo's look like apartments, but from a code standpoint in Texas and our AHJ, its considered a multi-family property. Mine unit is on the bottom floor, the bathroom above is identical layout.
My bathroom has a single sink. I would like to convert to a double sink. However, I am not sure if it is possible due to the way the upper unit sink drain ties in to the drain for my sink. I've attached a picture that shows how the two sinks tie together as well as the stacks in the truss space between the units.
Questions
1). Is it possible to convert my single to a dual vanity and still meet code?
2). What would be the proper fitting types to make the connections?
My thinking...
- replace/reorient the existing drain pointing left, for the left sink, using a sanitary t
- install sanitary t below where the drain from the upstairs unit connects to the drain stack for the right sink
- route the vent for the right sink up thru the wall and connect it back in to my vent stack in the truss space between the two floors, thus keeping the two vents completely separate
Thanks,
Richard
