    Plumbing vent installation location

    Let me show you a typical, (in my area) bathroom group rough in. This configuration only uses one vent for the entire group.
    4" ,(under cement in slab) 3" (on first and second floor) from the toilet to the main. The lavatory to connect to the toilet drain line and a 2"vent to the roof or revent back in the attic to a existing roof vent. The tub/shower to connect to the lavatory drain line and be wet vented by it as will the toilet. Be advised to always check local codes before changing or remodeling your drainage system.
    The kitchen sink will have its own 2" vent that may be tied back to the lavatory vent before it's run out the roof. Good luck, Tom

Toilet Vent Location [ 1 Answers ]

How close to the toilet should the vent line be? I’m in the process of moving a toilet and am not sure if I need to extend the vent too. Currently, the vent line is about 6 inches from the toilet, and after I move the toilet it would be 2 feet. Thanks Scott
