Hello everyone,
As many others, long time reader, first time poster. I'm planning a basement bathroom and would appreciate some advice on an initial layout of the rough-in. I live in Iowa; code is 2021 UPC.
I have done some light plumbing work, but not a project like this (I apologize if my terminology isn't up to par). Have tried to read through some code and forums like this (very helpful) but would appreciate some advice on my initial layout or if there is a better approach. Once I have this, then I'll need to work through fittings to use/etc.
The attached picture has a rough outline of what I was thinking. I still need to get exact locations/framing/move existing doorway but want to plan where I'll have to cut through the slab. We have existing sewer lines below the basement floor and won't need an ejector pit. The nearest point to tie in is below the bottom of the picture, about 9' from where toilet/shower drains meet. From my understanding, the toilet/shower share a wet vent and has to be within 6' of the toilet and 8' from the shower trap (will be about 4-5' and 6' as drawn). I think this is too far for the sink so I was planning an individual vent for the sink. I'm planning to tie into an existing washing machine vent on the floor above.
Any other advice/suggestions would be appreciated.
