    In Line Vent placement
    Hello

    We are putting in a new bathroom in the middle of our house.
    We would like to put an in-line vent.
    Toilet and sink will run in single pipe over to wall and then 90 to existing plubing.

    Can we place in-line vent under sink or after both toilet and sink have joined in single pipe?

    Not sure if that is enough information. Trying to keep it short.

    Thanks

    By "inline vent" I assume you mean a AAV, (see image) Yes you can, If local codes permit. If there's a tub or shower connect to the lavatory drain where it will be wet vented. Most bathroom groups are roughed in like this.
    Toilet connects to sewer main or the stack vent. Lavatory connects to toilet drain and installs a AAV just downstream from the trap,(see image)oThe toilet wet vents through the lavatory vent and the tub/shower connects to the lavatory drain and is wet vented by it. This is a normal rough in and is acceptable both by local and state codes and also The Standard Plumbing Code Book in 90 percent of the country. Check your local codes to make sure you're not in the excluded 10 percent. Or that a AAV's permissible.
    Good luck, Tom

Vent line placement [ 7 Answers ]

Ok, I asked once before, but I kind of changed things around a little bit and want to make sure I do things right before I start busting out concrete... where do I put the vent line or lines? This will all be under a concrete slab when I get done... there should be an attachment.
