Hi,
I would like to add a utility sink to an unfinished basement section. The proposed site is on the opposite side of the wall from an existing guest bath. I would like to tie into a vented waste drain for the bathroom sink. The vertical vent is 2". The sink drains through standard pvc at the required 1/4"/lf slope. I am unsure where to actually tap in to keep the vent operating properly for the existing sink? To avoid problems should I make a re-vent and tie into the vent well above the connection or is it OK to change out the waste tee for a waste cross and have everything still vent properly? Is there another option that I haven't considered? Picture attached for clarity.
