So we are gutting the bathroom due to a leaking tub and toilet. The only thing that didn't link was the sink, amazingly. We had to sister studs, replace underlayment, subfloor, etc etc... the only problem is we want to put new fixtures in and I want everything to be code. I have been debating on using an AAV (studor vent) to rectify the lack of venting for the tub and sink but I am wanting to make sure there are no other glaring safety concerns on the design of the cast iron vent stack. It seems to me that having the water rush down the toilet pipe past both the sink and tub would suck the water right out of the traps since the sink/tub inlet are between the toilet and vent riser. We have never had a problem before and we never notice any smells but I know it can't be right. As for the AAV for the sink I want to make sure I can put it in the vanity 4" above the sani-tee. I am pretty sure it is 4" since it is not the MAIN vent (that would require 6" above overflow) but again, not a plumber, want to check. I have taken some high resolution photos and used paint to show proposed changes. Thanks so much in advance for any assistance you may provide.
