Hey everyone, I am currently in the middle of completely replacing the drain/vent plumbing in my basement. Home was built in 1950s and I have already tore up concrete floor, removed old cast iron / lead / brass and replaced with ABS. The new ABS is dry-fit currently while I get some of the fine details hammered out, and was hoping you guys could help me with that.
Here are a few big points:
Below are links to some pictures showing what the pipe layout plan is. If someone is able to provide some guidance on pitfalls I would really appreciate it!

Here are a few big points:
- main sewer drain to city is 3" leaving house
- was hoping to use 3" drain everywhere for this project - to provide room for expansion in future
- immediate upgrade/add would be dedicated drainage in far corner to accommodate W/D
- future upgrade possibilities are:
- kitchen gets relocated to "above" where W/D will sit
- current kitchen is converted to bathroom
- so idea was to put 3" everywhere leaving concrete to accommodate that
- currently house has full bath upstairs, 1.75 bath in basement (shower)
