Read a bunch of threads that a search pulled up, found a lot of answers, but lack the answer to a specific question or two that I have.
Currently have 1-1/2" iron waste line running up from slab into wall, T to the sink, and continuing up to vent. Wall is interior 2x4. I understand that if I were pulling a permit, I probably shouldn't run this pipe horizontally through 2x4 studs as it might weaken the wall too much. I think that the size is OK to support the 2 sinks.
Question 1: Assuming I run a leg to the right and left for the two sinks, will the center drain and vent be appropriate? I can't think of a better way without breaking into the slab and running separate drains and vents for each sink - something I really don't want to do here.
Question 2: Assuming I drill or cut through the studs anyway (looks like I'd need to go through one additional one on one side, two on the other), what is the preferred method of maintaining structural integrity: notch on one side and put a metal strap across, or insert a header above and below the horizontal pipe run creating essentially a window inside the wall?
