Hi all.
I have a drain pipe (1-7/8” OD) I need to move about 4 feet for a new sink we will be installing (this room was rough plumbed about 16 years ago and we are only getting to finishing it now)
In the attached drawing the drains current location is in red hash and marked as “drain/vent”. It connects to a larger pipe in black hash labeled “main vent” that it uses as its vent.
What I need to do is move that drain about 4 feet to the location marked “new drain location” at the end of the blue dotted line representing the run. This new location will be within a new 2x4 wall (not yet framed).
Is this procedure as simple as cutting out the existing T that serves as the current drain location and attaching a new T several inches below it off of which I run my new length of drain tube (represented by the blue line) to the new location?…or do I have to also have a vent run up the wall from the new drain location and tap back into the main vent?
Thanks for any info.
