    Rough in basement
    I have three pipes coming out of the unfinished basement.

    First pipe is for a shower.

    Second pipe is for the toilet.

    Third pipe is the vent pipe.

    Question is - can I run a sink drainage pipe down the vent pipe?

    If you are referring to installing a sink on a different floor and then using the vent to drain it, then the answer is no, you may not. But if you're putting a sink into the basement itself, it should be no problem, provided it was roughed-in properly - in fact, there should be a stub-out for a sink coming out of the vent pipe about a foot-and-a-half above the floor.

    Good luck!
