    someday I'll be a plumber but for now still need advice on venting

    wow! Wow thanks for this tip! I redid the diagram. So then I would need to run a 2" pipe as the drain pipe into the horizontal sewer line ( A and B) as shown and then connect a 2" elbow and a 2" horizontal run (C) and then the 2" vertical run (D) up to the roof and I'm done? So then I can...

    someday I'll be a plumber but for now still need advice on venting

    ok thanks, that dashes my plans for an "Easy" way to vent. I'll rethink this. In the meantime anyone have any ideas? There is no way to run vertical pipes that I can see.

    I need some advice on venting/. It would be very difficult for me to run a vent line except in one place where I can get it up to the roof and out. I'd like to use "Y" connections as in the diagram to hook up a vent system. It's all for a 1st floor set up and the only way waste is going out...

    Gas shutoff valve

    must be there I live in a small town The meters are no frills but there is a little hard to see valve running in parallel with the gas pipe coming from the ground to the meter. You have to use a crescent wrench to turn the "handle" so it comes to 90 degrees with the pipe. My gas meter sends...

    old house adding drains looks ok?

    AFTER THE REPLY I SAW SOMETHING: this was my original I have a 1900's 2 floor with full attic home there is only one vent for the whole pluming system. So far there are no problems with existing drains. I drew a pic of what is there and what I want to add. I think it should still work fine...
