    Basement bathroom install
    Good day!
    I am going to try and install a bathroom in the basement. I will have to break up the concrete floor to run the new plumbing to the existing sewer line with proper venting.
    I work best when I have a diagram to follow. Does anyone have anything like that they can post or just a good referance book I could buy to help me visualize what it should look like.
    Regards
    Anthony

    Hey Tony, You don't need a reference book! Just hang around and we'll walk you through it. Your project is a simple one so here's your guide line.
    Most bathroom groups are roughed in like this.
    Toilet connects to sewer main or the stack vent. Lavatory connects to toilet drain and runs a vent off the top the stubout tee out the roof or revents back into a dry vent in the attic.. The toilet wet vents through the lavatory vent and the tub/shower connects to the lavatory drain and is wet vented by it. This is a normal rough in and is acceptable both by local and state codes and also The Standard Plumbing Code Book in 90 percent of the country. Check your local codes.to make sure you're not in the excluded 10 percent.. The vent off the lavatory may be run out the roof or revented back into a dry vent in the attic or if you're reventing back into a fixtures dry vent you must make your connection at least 6 inches over that fixtures flood rim.

    If you still need a diagram draw me up a floor plan with the stacks, measure and the cleanout if you have one in the basement. Place all the fixtures where you want them and any other information and upload it to a attachment on your post. Will you be converting to PCV for this project?
    Regards and good luck on your remodel. Tom
