Hi, I'm in the process of getting my sister's 2nd story bathroom in working order. From the pictures you can see what I started with; Lead pipes and no vents. I started by removing all the lead that was there. Then I put in a pvc closet bend with a 2 inch 45' inlet on the side and ran a 2 inch line over to the tub where I put a Y with a 1 1/2 outlet that goes to a P trap. About halfway between the closet bend for the toilet and the tub is a Y with a 1 1/2 outlet for the sink.
From what I've read, I think there should be a vent for each fixture, but I'm not sure of where and how big they should be. I was thinking about tying into the vent that comes up from the bathroom downstairs (which ties into the main stack above the toilet in the 2nd story bathroom), but I've read that that shouldn't be done? Also, I don't want to make another inlet into the main stack because it's cast and I'm not equipped to do that.
I've read through local / state codes, but since I'm not a plumber, It's hard for me to understand. I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.
