    Shower p trap

    Under the Illinois code, the max length for 2" pipe is 4'. http://www.ilga.gov/commission/jcar/admincode/077/07700890ZZ9996aiR.html I found a way that might work for my situation. I would run the vent from the shower drain as shown with 1 1/2" PVC and connect it in the attic to the vent that...

    Shower p trap

    Attached is a side view showing the new shower pan. Let's consider the "north" wall to be at the top of my previous sketch. I could run a vent through either the north or east walls. My understanding of the code is that the vent must come off of the waste line at an angle of no more...

    Thanks Redwood, I was afraid that would be the answer. Attached is a .pdf sketch. The sewage ejector pit is vented out through the roof. My concern is not so much breaking up the concrete, but will the outer diameter surface of the PVC pipe that was previously encased in concrete be of...

    Shower p trap

    I'm replacing the acrylic shower in my (concrete slab) basement bathroom with a new one. When I removed the old shower base, I found that the water was draining straight down into a 90 degree elbow and then into a straight horizontal run of pipe (PVC) which leads to the sewage ejector pit...
