Hey guys Ive been thinking of adding a shower in my basement bathroom. I have a toilet coming right off the main 4" drain. The 4" IRON comes out of the floor into 3" PVC and goes up to the roof. Im thinking of replacing the old iron toilet elbow with a new PVC 3"x3"x2" and running with 2" PVC to the new Ptrap for the shower.
My understanding is the 2" PVC run can be no longer then 5 feet for the main 3" stack to act as a vent.
My question is
1) Is the 5' measurement for venting from the main drain or from where the 2" pipe starts (off the new toilet elbow location)
2) If this doesnt work any ideas?
I added a picture to help with all the info i could think of, spent more time on it then expected
