You can wet vent bathroom groups, cutting down on the number of vents you need. However, if you add a kitchen sink or a standpipe to the flow, you cannot wet vent.Routing the washing machine drain past the upstairs toilet would be simple as the pipes are going through a large chase between the floors before dropping, but after the downstairs could be more difficult. What would be the reason to do this?
Page 12 of https://wabo.memberclicks.net/assets/pdfs/Plumbing_Venting_Brochure_2018.pdf discusses IPC wet venting.
Also note that they bring the wet vented stuff in from horizontal rather than from above.
lavatory drain comes into the horizontal pipe from above. The bathroom things that drain into that horizontal pipe enter the horizontal pipe from the side, not from above. So toilet joins the flow via a wye that is in the horizontal plane. I don't understand why that is important, but that doesn't matter. I could find you a discussion on the topic if you like.I'm confused on this. How can an upstairs bathroom be brought in on the horizontal?
