Hello,
I am replacing an old floor drain in the service room because the original 1.5" line did not have a trap. I have two options.
1. Install a new 4" line to the main line, (8 feet away)involves breaking up existing floor.
2. Install new 1.5" line with p-trap along same path. The old path is routed to another line, possibly one leading to a shower that connects to main line.
*Also the old line is most likely connected to a vent pipe, do i need to vent the new 4" drain pipe as well?
**I have 4" drain pipe in the laundry room as well, which is just across the service room, at the lowest point in the basement.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Cheers,
Mike
