Bath & Laundry Remodel #3, and my first on two floors. Both prior jobs a resounding success thanks to advice and guidance found here. I should get pix of the tile job up - - but I digress.
#3. The bathroom is gutted, open, and ready for rebuild. Please see attached pic for reference. I would sure appreciate some feedback on this DWV layout.
The larger notch-out by the tub is from old cast iron stack & vent 4” all the way out the roof, so that's the side the roof boot is on. The smaller notch-out by the Lav was 2” galvanized. Reused the notches as best I could.
The laundry room downstairs is concrete walls with 2x2 firred on the window wall and an unfinished ceiling.
The kitchen upstairs is finished.
The gray area under the tub is a short but accessible crawlspace. Fortunately all new work can be completed from topside.
The pink-drawn fittings for the kitchen sink and the first cleanout wye at the stack base are all that remain of the old system.
The blue grid is 6” squares, roughly to scale.
Questions.
Tub: does putting the p-trap into a santee make it an s-trap? If so, what should I change?
Did I get the vent and trap arm for the laundry sink in the right place? I had some trouble visualizing how to put in a cleanout and a vent and a trap arm at the end of a horizontal line. Do I need the secondary sink vent?
What should I do with the 4” unused opening at the top of the stack? Just cap it off? It feels like I ought to build a vent into it or something, but then where to route it from there? It kinda deadends vertically at the bathroom floor.
The 2102 International Residential & Building Codes are the ones used here in Wyoming.
well ptthh. I keep getting "problem uploading file" for both a jpg and a pdf. Will post this, then add to it in a separate message to see if that makes a difference.
