Understood, thanks.

How critical is the 5' max distance to the trap? I'm at roughly 6' from the "Y" in the pic to the sink vent.

That's great news. The medium 90 fits way better. I will go get a solvent weld if thats the better way to go. Thanks for the advice.

So you wouldn't use this type of p-trap? What are the disadvantages over a standard one that gets glued (besides the slight price difference)? I tried to not use the elbow but I couldn't get it all to line up right. Also, I was worried about the minimum distance (4") required between the trap...

I think i see what you're referring to as far as the long sweep 90: 706.3 Horizontal drainage lines connecting with other horizontal drainage lines shall enter through 45 degree (0.79 rad) wye branches, combination wye and one-eighth (1/8) bend branches, or other approved fittings of equivalent...

Thanks for the reply! From what I read, I thought a medium 90 was sufficient since I wasn't changing elevation direction at all (such as going from horizontal to vertical.) The med 90 is in the same plane as the trap arm and the drain line itself. I must of read something wrong somewhere...

I was hoping someone could look at this and see if it passes the "giggle test." I am finishing my basement and had to make provisions for a vent since the length of pipe (2" diameter) running under the slab is more than than 5 feet (I'm in South Dakota and they follow the UPC.) I realize the...

The upstairs drain line wont even be in the bathroom. It will be in a bedroom closet (with access to the cleanout.) The wall that has the 4" will actually be off the cement wall by a good bit. The cleanout of the 4" pipe will essentially be where the face of the bathroom wall is. I assume...

Thanks for the response. The tub vent was the one I was worried about. I wasn't sure if it would count as a vent if the tub was connected (underground) to the 2" vanity/vent (I've seen some people say there is a max distance.) I'm not sure how to vent off the drain/p-trap in the boxed area...

My house was built three years ago (in South Dakota) and, unfortunately, we weren't around when it was built. We are looking at finishing the basement, but I'm a little confused on what they've left me. In the picture you can see two stub ups as well as the main drain that is coming from the...
