    Moving a bathtub drain and vent
    I want to move my bath tub and the wall that the vent and drain are in about 3 feet so is it OK for me to "T" back into the original vent in the attic? Or does the vent need to go straight up through the roof and I need to drill anothr hole in the roof

    The vent line does not have to be all vertical. Just pipe it back over to the existing line out the roof.

    You may tie back toa existing dry vent in the attic. This is called "reventing".
    Good luck, Tom
