Hello, I am working with a 20+yr experience bathroom "handy" man on turning my LAUDRY ROOM into a small full bath. This is a SMALL SINGLE story home and the "laudry room" is right next to the MASTER BATHROOM. As info the FLOW of WASTE WATER from the house starts(the direction of my DMV PIPES) in the kitchen, to guest bath, then to the master bathroom, & then through the LAUDRY room, & FINALLY 5 feet from "OUTSIDE" the LAUDRY ROOM into the SEWER(the CLEAN OUT IS 5 feet from the laundry room-outside). So as u can see INSTALLING a full bath in the laudry
room should be "somewhat" easy since the room is located on the END SIDE of the DMV drainage system.. My MAIN question is can i USE a "air admittance valve"?
My bathroom guy wants to INSTALL a AIR VENT PIPE in the LAUDRY ROOM THROUGH THE ROOF. I hate to question him since he has the experience, but from my research on "air admittance valves" it should work. AS INFO the master bathroom IS conected to a VENT PIPE which is only 6' from the laudry room. IT WOULD BE A PAIN IN THE REAR to run I guess it's called a "WET VENT" inside the wall to the MASTER BATHROOM.. Meaning the NEW LAUDRY/BATH ROOM would use the 4" VENT PIPE IN THE MASTER BATH.
I would simply like to INSTALL a "air admittance valve" INTO a WALL in the NEW LAUDRY/BATH room which would be built into the DRY WALL.
Does this make sense? WOuld it work?
i made a chart on how the dmv AND THE AAV SHOULD LOOK, BUT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD THIS PICTURE-- I COULD EMAIL TO ANYONE WILLING TO HELP ME OUT
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
