I am adding a room in my attic and would like to add a bathroom upstairs. I can get water supply there but the drain is the difficult part. I have an air vent from my downstairs laundry nearby I could tie the saniflo into but I worry about negative pressure issues on the ptraps below. I don't really have a way to add an air vent for the downstairs fixtures without some major demo. I am thinking of several options.
1. will it really cause negative pressure? it will not be a bathroom used often, it will only be a 3/4 inch line tying into a 1 and 1/2 inch air vent?
2. I could add an AAV to the downstairs sink (no room to add for the washing machine drain due to studs in the way) and thereby relieve some of the negative pressure risks.
3. I think I could manage to get a 3/4 inch pipe down the inside of the wall and tie into the vent close to where the sink and dryer are tied into the stack and as the Saniflo will have its own air vent about 8 feet away I think that may solve the issue?
Any advise would be appreciated. I am pulling my hair out trying to find a solution that does not involved a total demo of my laundry room.
2.7 - SEWER PIPE (COPPER, CAST IRON, PVC, ABS) 1.Install an appropriate wye fitting into the sewer pipe, (with 1 1/2" branch hub).
