Im wanting to finish a basement bathroom myself and wanted to run my plan by you all for advice and insight on anything I may be missing..
The whole house is plumbed with 3/4" pex-b. My plan is to T into the 3/4" lines and run 1/2" pex-b lines for a toilet, sink, shower, and another sink for a wet bar. I will use crimps to connect the lines and adapters. The main lines that run through the bathroom come from the mechanical room on the opposite wall where I have the toilet line and sink outlined. Should the lines coming off the main line be 3/4" up to the fixtures/shut off valves or can they be 1/2" directly off the main line? Is there any issues with my current layout for the additional water lines? Something a may not be considering?
The drains are already installed but need to be stubbed out. The drains run to a sump crock pump in the mech room. There is a vent line attached to the sump pump. I assume I do not need to add additional vents to the already installed drain lines? I do plan to add the stub like vents to the sinks as they are also on the other sinks in the house. Also, the drain lines are 2". How do I stub those out of the wall. I cant find any 2" to 1.5" elbow pieces at the local hardware store.
Lastly, this seems to be the part I'm getting hung up with the most, the drain for the tub. It's about 52.5" from the finished wall. The tub my wife would like to get is a standard 60x30" jet tub with reversable drain the front side of the tub (not in the center). Will there be any limitation to the drain in the floor in regards to the drain placement of the tub (end of tub vs center of tub)?
