Thank you, really appreciate it. You are Correct on the wye I need to update the the chart. I’m taking this all in and will provide an update soon.

Here the lavs would be venting right off the sanitee after the trap, dry venting to the roof. Is that sufficient?

Wayne, I updated my drawing, could you take a look? Is the lav 1.5” cent enough to vent the bathroom 2 group at the the top left? Is the position after the wc on the horizontal drain ok? I believe the 1/2 bath layout is now properly vented? For bath group 1 in the top right, the lav and...

In another forum some were saying that if the drain line comes all the way down and ties into the vent stack below the lowest fixture, that is allowed? It didn’t make sense to me but I think that’s what they were going for here? Terry Love's example of two story plumbing

Thanks. I posted a new thread about how the original home was plumbed, not sure how they managed to make it work?: https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/thoughts-on-how-this-old-home-was-plainsong-with-this-method.99637/

100 year old house, but high end for its time. 2 full baths on the 2nd floors, one 1/2 Bath on the first floor. The layout was 4” cast iron, servicing all the bathrooms and fixtures, with no venting except where the waste line comes into the basement, ties in below a 4” vent stack that goes to...

Thanks! I’ll post a new thread about the original layout of the plumbing, since that’s a slightly different topic. I found an interesting photo and would like some feedback

That’s a tough condition to visualize. So the combo approach you mentioned above works because both the wc and lav inputs are both horizontal, and the sanitee option works because the outlet is vertical?

Ok, I’ll get out sawzall. Just to confirm the vent coming out from above the lav trap needs to be 2”, not 1.5” since it’s only servicing the lav and WC?

You mean go above the existing wc connections? Or do you mean drop The toilet pipe down into wye and have the 2” wet vent come in from the end?

Sorry this one:

Wayne you are the man. For education, would the below work as well? A long 90 to vertical, a sanitee with the 2” lav wet vent, then anther long 90 back to the stack?

Trying to salvage this layout, it’s very tight space. Can can I add a 2” wet vent as marked yp from the lav next to the toilet, under the toilet connection be up to code? The vertical stack is going up to another bathroom on a different floor so that can’t be used to vent. Is there a better...
