Sorry about the pictures being so big and before the text.
We are trying to do rough plumbing for a bathroom in the first pic, and a laundry room in the second pic. There was an existing bathroom with a home made cement shower pan that sat on top of the slab and a sink on the outside of it that drained into D on the pic. There was a toilet at B. We cut a hole at A and saw that the main waste pipe (purple) was likely too high to put a shower drain right there (which is what we wanted). My husband did some cutting for what we hoped would be a toilet, sink and new floor drain (a wall will be moved) and he ran into the continuation of a secondary drain pipe (yellow) by C.
The pic of the future laundry room has a vertical pipe (yellow), which was connected to their kitchen sink on the floor above. That pipe goes 'uphill' and I'm sure drained very poorly as there was a ton of water damage where the kitchen sink was. The last pic shows an over view, the dashed lines are guesses.
Questions:
Can we just cap off the secondary (yellow) pipes at D and E?
How much vertical room would we need at A to make a shower drain with a p trap?
Thanks
