Thanks for the feedback. I'll spend the money on another small basin. Can I tie the vents for the 2 basins together because I only have one pipe up from the basement through the roof.

I wish. It's in the concrete under the shower into the basin. Thanks. I don't think it would hurt or not function. I'm just thinking about when the day comes that my wife sells the house afer I'm gone and runs into problems.

I wish. It's in the concrete under the shower into the basin. No. It's under the concrete. I'm looking for a cheaper, easy solution. Again, I can buy an above ground basin/pump unit and tie into the above ground pipes. I'm trying to avoid a second pump/basin 2 feet from the existing one.

Thank you for replying. I haven't purchased the sink yet. It's going to be 2 feet from the basin. Picture a typical ejector with 2 vertical pipes. Tie the sink drain into the vent pipe. That's the question I'm asking if that's OK.

I'm adding a utility sink in my basement. To me, the best location is near the ejector basin that services the bathroom. I can easily buy an on the floor basin/pump combo and attach it to the waste pipe near the ceiling and vent stack. I wouldn't mind saving a few hundred dollars if I can do it...

WOW! This hit me hard. I came to this site 15+ years ago seeking answers to questions about finishing my basement. I came back 6 months ago asking more about my new home. I came back today to ask another question and saw this. I'm 59 and this hit me hard. Thank you Terry for being here to help a...

Are you saying either is acceptable? Thanks

The valve is just above the vent. Thanks for the feedback.

Next question about the basement bathroom. The vent for the fixtures is horizontal 4 feet above the floor. I need to tie in the ejector pit. Should I vent up from below the horizontal pipe with a Tee or should I come up to the same level with a wye? Here's a picture. You can see the pit outside...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I guess I didn’t wait long enough for it to bounce back. I’m going to wait a couple of days in hopes of the rest of the connections tightening up. If I get desperate, I’ll try the heat gun.

It rotated. It was one thing that I picked up watching installation videos.

Rented a Dewalt cordless.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

I talked about the builder because you brought up age of the home and warranty. Again, as a DIYer, I do this work over a couple of days. I can’t turn off the supply to the whole house during that time. I stub in a valve in each cold and hot supply so I can work downstream without having the...

Yes. Yes. And yes.
