I had to demo a bathroom laundry area due to a leak in my 70 year old house, now I am taking the opportunity to remodel. I am an intrepid diy’er, if I have a plan and I know the steps, I can do the work.
I have included a photo to show roughly the plan of where I’d like to put things. The pipe diameter of the stack I think is 2”. I understand that this restricts the maximum slope to 2", so at a minimum of 1/4” per foot slope the maximum length of the trap from the vent is 8’, but my sink will be about 10 to 12 feet away.
I would like to know if I can wye off the vent at a level 6” higher than the sink rim, come around 90 degrees and then down to the drain pipe under the sink, and attach the vent closer to the fixture. The waste drain would remain more than 8' away.
Will bringing the vent closer to the fixture rather than the fixture closer to the vent solve my problem? I will still have to drain into the stack coming out of the floor more than 8' away, but is the drain distance a problem if the fixture is already vented within a few feet of its trap?
Plumbing is new to me so I am not sure if my solution will work with the physics involved. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
