Hello all,
I am remodeling our master bath and ran into an issue relocating our water closet 1’. I’ve consulted the IPC and find myself confused on horizontal offset stipulations based on existing findings.
2 story house, 3” waste stack running vertical from the basement.
It comes up, 45s x2 to get into wall cavity, pickups up a kitchen sink branch tied in horizontally. Sink has its own dry vent terminating to the stack above the highest flood rim.
The stack then travels vertically, offsets 45deg to get out of wall framing, and then immediately has a double 3” street wye and 45 out the top center to continue vertically to pickup shower via San t 3x3x2, vents tie in and out to roof.
The picture is looking at the right side of the wye, the white bag is stuffed where I cut the old shower out between the two pics.
Can I tie the water closet located 18” left of the stack into the stack without a Separate dry vent? Or are the 45s considered offsets requiring separate dry vents?
They had a shower was tied in at the 3x3x2 San t on the stack with no vent, it was 36” from the tie in. The existing street t for shower without any vent is making me question if that was appropriate. Production build of the 80s, they build a soffit and put nothing in it below.
There isn’t a lot of room as usual so I’m looking to purpose the old water closet dry vent for my shower vent.
Thank you.
