    Basement bathroom venting question

    We are roughing in a basement bathroom and I need help with venting. It will be very difficult to attach to a stack, so I am looking at AAVs and alternative options. Essentially, unless we rip out walls and go all the way to the ceiling with a new vent, I am left with two options: (1) AAVs, or...

    Toilet installed on rough in - venting issue?

    Hello all. I am finishing up a bathroom in our basement and we were "lucky" to have a rough in already in place. According to blueprints it was 3 pipes. 1 for shower with built in trap, 1 toilet, and 1 sink. We did not add a shower so that one is capped and unused. We added a toilet and a...

    Drop-in replacement for cheap AAV in trailer

    Please see my reply later in the thread for tl;dr. Yeah, I know, "cheap AAV" is probably redundant... An AAV has possibly failed in my 3-year-old double-wide (along with three doorknobs, three stripped-out power outlets (no work boxes), two light switches, and two plastic faucets) and I'm...

    Draining sink & washer to same standpipe?

    All, thanks in advance for the help. I’d like to add a utility sink near my washer. Currently there is one standpipe, shown in the picture and it does not vent through the roof, also no trap. Is it a big deal to drain both a sink and washer into the pipe? I planned to expand left [pic] for the...

    Washer overflows! Help!

    Bought a house. Finally bought a used washer. Hooked it up and it overflows. Set up looks proper to me from what I've researched but I really don't know much about plumbing or AAV.... 2" drain pipes, p-trap, then AAV (instead of roof ventilation). Ran a snake, no clogs. Bought a Drain King...
