Basement shower drain vent??
I am installing a basement shower which was stubbed when the floor was poured.
A P trap is in the floor about 3' from the main horizontal sanitary line which goes out to the septic. I can see no vent lines and wonder if I need to vent the shower. If I do need to vent it, the vent needs to be between the trap and the sanitary line, correct? I also have no vent for the sink which was also stubbed in. If I need to vent these two appliances, may I vent up and out through a 2 in line terminating under a deck or do I need to tie into the attic stack? Thanks in advance, Dave |

Hi Dave,
Let's not get hasty. Are there any other vented fixtures in the basement. Utility sink? Washer? If there is then the shower's probably wet-vented back to the drain of one of them. As a rule we wet vent our tub and shower rough ins. If there isn't any way to wet vent it then we stub up a vent so the home owner doesn't have to break up cement. Let me know. Tom |

I bought a one-piece Lasco shower enclosure as part of finishing the basement bathroom. The PVC drain is plumbed in and sticks up about 6" out of the floor.
