The way the bathroom ended up being laid out the toilet is the farthest from the point where the stub comes up out of the concrete in the basement. In order for it to get there it will run north between the joist for 14 feet then turn down 9 inches to get under the joist and then make a 90 degree turn to the east and run 9 feet. From there it will turn back north 90 for a foot and then turn down drop 8 feet to the stub coming out of the slab. Are there too many turns?
Also this bathroom is an addition to my house that is only one story but it is directly next to the two-story portion there are windows that open to a second floor bedroom is it ok to vent out this roof? |
You have me a little confused. Your heading says lavatory but your post says toilet. It doesn't make much difference which one it is. With that many bends I would install a least two cleanout tees because with that many bends and doglegs you're gonna need em. Would it be possible to straighten the run out a tad?
You ask," I can have minor drains come into the main one as long as they are vented. Is this correct?"
That's correct.
"Also this bathroom is an addition to my house that is only one story but it is directly next to the two-story portion there are windows that open to a second floor bedroom is it ok to vent out this roof?"
Section 1494.4 and 5 Chapter 14 0f The Standard Plumbing Code says that NO vent terminal shall be located directly beneath any door, window or other ventilating opening of the building. Also no vent shall be within 10 feet horizontally of any such opening unless it's at least 2 feet above the top of such opening. In addition you MAY NOT terminate a vent under the overhang of the building.
That's what the book says. Good luck, Tom
