Hi -
I'm laying out a 2nd floor bathroom.
(picture missing)
All shown runs are horizontal (except for slope in the waste pipes - and the vent pipe, which eventually rises to meet the main stack)
1. Can the sink waste run join the shower waste run as shown?
2. If so, can the shower and sink vent be the same as shown in this situation?
3. Can the vent pipes be Tee'd off where the waste pipes go down to the basement or do the vent pipes have to come off closer to the drains or closet flange?
Thank you very much for any input.
Note from Terry: Plumbers have to work with a journyman plumber for 8,000 hours before they can take the commercial written test.
Forgive us if we seem impatient with some of our answers.
We don't want anyone to ruin the home for the next owner.
