    Basement Bathroom Plumbing Sketch
    I am in the planning stages of installing a bathroom in the basement of my home. It has not been plumbed for one so I will be breaking concrete to install the drain plumbing and sewage ejector pump crock. I am having a terrible time envisioning the drainage plumbing and vents for my bathroom and have a ton of questions about the drainage plumbing. I am a firm bemiever in the "a picture is worth a thousand words" philosophy. With that said, could you experts take a look at my attached bathroom layout and create a sketch of the possible drainage plumbing going from the fixtures to the ejector pump? I feel a lot of my questions (vents, tee vs. wye, etc. etc.) would be answered with a decent sketch. Please show things like size of lines and specific connection types used. It would be greatly appreciated!

    Here's the lay out you requested. Since I expect the installation to have small changes I haven't made you a material list, but the drawing should be self explanatory. I had to run the lav drain line so the shower would be wet vented by it. Had you traded places with the toiloet and the lavatory the drawing would have been much simpler. Regards, Tom
