: : I am adding a second bathroom to, yes, a (gulp) one bathroom house. : The new stack is approximately 17 feet from the existing stack. : My question is: : Is it possible to run the new stack vertically from the second floor : through the first and into the crawl space, : AND THEN LATERALLY over this distance? Yes, Terry : And if so, should I use a 1/4" per foot, 1/8" per foot, or GREATER slope : to ensure proper drainage? 1/4" per foot or more is UPC code. Terry : I have 2 feet of vertical space (across the lateral 17 feet) to work with. Sounds like plenty. You are only dropping 4-1/4" in that distance. Terry : Did I mention I have to cut an iron stack in a 3 foot high crawl space :) The cast iron stack can be cut with a saw blade, a sawzal works fine, or a cast iron cutter which you can rent. Terry : Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
