Hello Everyone,
I found this forum after searching for information for my bathroom remodel project. I've been lurking for a month or so and finally have a question to post.
My project includes installing a new bathtub with a different orientation than the existing tub. I will have to rough the drain to the new location which is approximately 5.5' from the current drain location. I also need to move an existing 1.5" vent line that is currently located in a wall that I want to remove.
I've attached the existing and new floor plans along with a photo of the area.
My questions are:
1. Is it OK to locate a vent line in the exterior wall? It appears that they offset it away from the exterior wall because it was easier to pipe once they got into the attic.
2. Can I keep the 1.5" attachment to the 2" drain line where it is and pipe to the new drain location as shown in the new floor plan (1st attachment). It appears that there is a T-Wye rolled to a 1.5" 22 degree elbow. How much pitch is required? Should the trap be located at the new drain location?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Mike
