So here it goes, been doing some heavy studying for the past week and I will say one thing. Whoever says plumbing is not complicated just does not understand the level of knowledge it requires to do correctly. So, THANK YOU for all the professionals that are willing to offer their two cents to anyone who is asking. Plumbing is so much more than gluing and soldering pipe together as many lay people/homeowners think.
I have a small one floor cabin (24 x 20) that has a 4' crawl space with plenty of access that I would like to get some advice on as it applies to the UPC. There are only four plumbing fixtures in the dwelling: Kitchen sink, Toilet, Shower stall, & Bathroom vanity.
Please reference the diagram below.
I am seeking advice regarding the venting of the system. From all I can gather, I anticipate the design would pass UPC inspection given:
Since the Shower & Vanity PTraps are so close to the soil stack, can the soil stack serve as the vent even though it is offset by 6 feet?
My concern is that the Dry Vertical 2" vent stack is offset by 6' from the 3' soil stack that goes to the septic tank. Can I make this work correctly?
Please add advice on Proposed Soil stack layout if possible.
Nothing has been put together yet. Just need to tie everything together correctly so that it works for the next 100 years.
Thanks again for any input.

Please reference the diagram below.
- 2" dry vertical vent pipe through roof available +/- 6 feet from soil stack
- Shower stall P Trap 6 feet from soil stack
- Toilet flange 28" from soil stack
- Bath vanity literally on top of soil stack (from above) less than 12" from center of stack
- Kitchen sink +/-15 from soil stack
I am seeking advice regarding the venting of the system. From all I can gather, I anticipate the design would pass UPC inspection given:
- Shower drain PTrap is within 6 feet of soil stack. PTrap is not individually vented
- Bath vanity is within 12" of soil stack-not independently vented
- Kitchen sink will have a AAV or Island loop vent (not preferred because of foot vent length)
Since the Shower & Vanity PTraps are so close to the soil stack, can the soil stack serve as the vent even though it is offset by 6 feet?
