I am looking for some advice on exactly where to put the vent(s) in this situation. I want to do this properly and use whatever sizes of pipe required by code. I have the chisel on hand so I will do what is necessary regarding distances from traps to the vent.
This is my own personal basement.
Two pictures included are side by side.
The size of the room is about 8' X 5'
Shower on the far right, toilet in the middle, sink on the left.
The run from the shower drain to the main sewer line is about 8.5 feet. Distance from the toilet after it makes the bend is about 5.5 feet. What I planned so far is to run the shower in 2 inch abs, to a wye fitting (2x3x3) from the toilet which would be 3 inch and that would run to the main line. What I do not know is exactly where to put the vent or vents and what size they should be. I assume the vanity can be hooked up basically at the wall tying into the current drain and vent as it is right now.
The vertical pipes are the drain from the kitchen sink upstairs and to the right of it is a vent to the roof. Previously, there was a laundry tub hooked up where you see it cut.
Also, the builder looks to have used green PVC. I don't see that sold at big box stores. Is it the same grade as white? Should I be running all this in PVC or ABS? Can I use white?
If my sizes or plan is incorrect or not ideal please let me know. I'm sure there is more than one way to do this, so I am looking to keep it as simple as possible.
Thanks very much.
