    New shower sink and toilet installation
    I need to install a new bathroom for my elderly mother. I have 2 possible locations in mind one is at the back of the house which would place ths bathroom very close to the original bath the other would be in the front of the house approx 25 ft away from existing. Will I need to install a new vent pipe if I choose the location further away from the existing bath?

    Unless you can loop back to the old vent from the farthest locatation you will have to install a new roof vent. When you're ready to lay it out click on back and I'll be glad to help. Tom
