Hi all, this is my first post.
I am putting a bathroom in my basement and will use a sewage ejector pump. I have been unable to determine the best way to plumb this as my space is a bit tight (space between the sewage basin and the toilet).
But I found a diagram online that is not only far better than I could draw, but is also very close to what I would like to do.
The image is at:
I am planning on the same layout but with the addition of a shower--which will be to the left of the sink.
So, in this, the toilet is at the A/B fittings. The sink is at D. And the sink drains along, E/F/G/H/I and connects to the wye at C. The wye at C is the vent for the toilet.
For me, the the shower would be left of the sink. It would join in at H.
But since this is all underground and the sewage basin is also underground, the shower waste lines need to run on the same plane as the toilet waste line (aside from the 1/4/foot pitch).
So, the question is, can I take the wye at C, and lay it down so that it is on its side? In other words, rotate it about 90 degrees to the left.
This way, the shower/sink line will flow into the toilet line.
But, can the toilet be vented that way? With the wye on its side?
If not, then I would need two wyes (one between C and B) so one will work just as shown in this pic as a vent, and one will lay on its side--it will be for shower waste but would not be a valid toilet vent.
I am hoping to use just one wye since I want to keep the sewage basin as close as possible to the toilet.
