Hello All,
I have posted a couple other times with no luck on any input, so hopefully 3rd time is the charm.
I recently purchased an old house in St Paul Minnesota. I am renovating it and have already done a bunch of work. The city inspector came out once for the rough-in and said, I had to either redo the basement bathroom so it had proper venting or remove it. I chose to redo, of course, I'm here
.
So far this is what I have. (Minnesota has it's own plumbing codes, also appears to tie into the UPC) I have 2" shower trap w/ 1/4" slope to a 2" vent within 60" that Im going to change by turning the trap and then having a straighttrap arm to the vent. The vanity ties into the existing soil stack w/ it's own vent (1 1/2") in the upstairs bathroom. The W/C can either tie into the existing cast upstream of the 4" cast iron vent stack or, wye into the 4" soil drain below the shower connection. If I bring the WC drain pipe down, do I need to install a 2" wye vent to run up and connect to the 2" shower vent? I rrad somewhere that 4" WC and 4" drain pipe are big enough that they don't need another vent. OR Should I connect to where the original toilet is by tying into the cast. I think the 4" main stack should qualify for venting, no?
Thank you
