    How does this look

    Again this was done in haste as I had sewage backing up into my sink and washer. We have been using both the washer and the sink without problem until now when I have some time to tackle this. The pump pit had a studor vent attached temporarily until i could open up the wall on the first floor...

    Well I had to do something because I cant have crap backing back up into our laundry. I know this is not right, I struggled with this due in part with the limited space. That's why I am asking for help here.

    Thank you HJ, you are right the washer trap is not vented, I will add that now, do you see any other issues? I have not run the vent for the sewage pump yet either.

    Venting

    Sorry I need some clarification on this as I have had two plumbers tell me conflicting information. At first I was made to believe that as long as all fixtures were vented properly than I could join them together above flood height or 42" as a 3" as that is my drain size and have that exit...

    Venting

    No comments huh? I am now running the 3" vent directely from the main drain line up through the roof. Is there any problem with putting a few bends in it as long as it stays at least at a 45 degree angle up?

    Using a reducing Y to vent a toilet

    Awesome. Thank you HJ. So the 10' dimension to the vent... I can run a 4" drain from toilet and it will meet up with the main drain at exactly 9' away. My main drain however is 3" abs, can I use a 3x3x4 fernco, 4 being the arm from the toilet, and 3 straight up for the vent, and 3 straight...

    Using a reducing Y to vent a toilet

    I will have to measure it out to see if I have room for the 45 degree angle up to get to the wall. If I do use 4" pvc for the drain, would that mean I would be good both IPC and UPC? I read that a 4" pipe can have a run from closet to vent of 10' under UPC. Is that correct? Therefore is...

    Using a reducing Y to vent a toilet

    If the toilet drain is 4" do I need a vent at all since It will run into the main vent within 10'?

    Using a reducing Y to vent a toilet

    Hi, This is my first post here and I would like to say thank you for all the contributors because I have read and learned so much on this forum. I am planning a bathroom renovation and the location of the toilet is making it very difficult to vent. The toilet will be draining away from the...
