I'm attaching a pic of what I have thought about trying to do in order to put a wet bar in my basement. Is any of this possible. Does the little giant pump work?
I would connect small, probably not used regularly, bar sink to pump. Pump outlet is 1 1/2". Out of pump to wall, 90* 1 1/2" check valve in vertical pipe. Then expand to 2". Climb above the ceiling height, between the floor joists in and run at 1/4" per 1' slope until it comes parallel with existing horizontal drain from main floor kitchen above. I would then tie into the horizontal drain from above with a wye.
If that is possible...
I need to vent the pump. It says, "use of a mechanical vent will cause improper operation of the automatic switch". So I don't think I can use an AAV. Do I have to tear out a section of upstairs wall in order to vent all the way out roof? Can I somehow tie back into the drain from above since it is vented??
I appreciate any advice or opinions..
