We have a new home (Built 2 years ago) with an unfinished basement that I have begun finishing. The rough in for a full bath is already in place and consists of
2 in. pipe with vent thru to roof for sink/vanity
4 in pipe for toilet
two inch pipe for tub (need dimensions both from side wall and the end wall to center of drain.)
All pipe is white PVC.
I need to know the standard rough in dimensions from stud wall to the center of each fixture pipe.
I believe the sink and toilet should be no problem as the sink drain and vent pipe may easily be embedded in the intended rear wall and the center of the toilet drain is 12 inches from this same wall. The problem is the tub. Because of the location of my furnace/AC unit (just to the right of the intended side wall) I can only manage about 12 inches from center of drain to Side Wall and 3.5 inches from the rear wall.
Nothing is built yet and I can bump out the wall at either end of the tub, but I really don't want to get into the concrete.
2nd question..What are the chances that there is already a trap buried in the concrete for the tub? How do I check? If not, how do I do the trap for the tub without building a platform? (yeah i know that's really three)
You guys are in bed now and I'm still up. Know why, I'm RETIRED. I found out retired means twice as tired because I have more work than before I took the pension. See you on the flip side. Thanks Mark and Brad.
Hi Guys, Sorry I was so long getting back. It appears there is a trap for the tub drain. Cut off the pipe and filled it with water and can see water remaining as it would with a trap. I gues it all boils down to whether I can squeeze in a tub by moving the condensation pan over a bit more, Or whether I dig it up and have all the pipes moved a bit so to put things exactly where I want. That will depend on what the estimates would be.
I'm pretty sure I can handle the details of the sink, toilet and tub installs once the walls/drains are properly placed Definately will get the tub first and build around it.
For tub, may be able to use this tub drain to gain a few inches (see pic). Just rotate the base fitting to right!! If my answers helped, please rate my answer...thank you!! Mark
