I am relocating WM to basement wall 10 ft away from parallel, under-slab drain line from an upstairs bathroom. The wall is cinder block and above it is the living room thus no wall space to run vent stack up to the roof. I have following questions:
1- to vent the WM can I perforate the basement wall and run 2" pvc pipe a few feet above grade on the outside, or do all vents have to exit the house up on the roof? If the latter, what solution is there for venting since WM would be too far and too many joists away from nearest vent pipe one floor above?
2- when tying the WM's 2" drain line to under-slab drain line, can I use a "T" tie (90 degree tie) or do I need to use Wye tie and 45 bend?
3 - can I tie the drain for the laundry tub to the WM drain stack and avoid separate drain and vent for the laundry tub?
4- do I put the trap for the WM stack above or under the slab?
Thanks very much for help.
