    I can see a lot of clogs with all those 90's. Do you have enough room to give the line 7 1/2" of slope at 1/4" to the foot? If the first sink's already vented how will the second one be vented?

    I will start at approx 15 in height down to 7


    At this time all I have to work with is the waste/vent stack that is roughed in by the builder of the house. The first sink is for the bathroom, approx 8 feet away and the kitchen will be 12 feet more away, 20 in all.

    In addition...

    Put clean out on each 90 turn... Make that turn using Y+Street 45 instead of 90 Ell. Insert clean fitting into third , unused end of the Y.

    Hi Milo,
    I am guessing at the Kitchen (after the trap)will be Y for clean out-45 st for the turn to begin the 20 foot run.
    The bathroom sink after the trap will be Y for clean out then-45 + Y into the 20 foot run.
    The last corner will be tiled over as in a shower , so for this the Y clean out will need to be just after the toilet.
    I think it is how I see it?
    Did the air vent look OK
    Otherwise I believe the advise is good.
