This project is in a 1928 2 1/2 story duplex located in Cleveland, Ohio. The first and second floors have identical apartments. There is an attic accessible from the central common stairwell. Sometime in the early 1960's the attic was framed out and turned into some type of living space. In the 1970's a full bath was added onto an 11" platform (you would step up 11" into the bathroom).
This project will add a new master suite to the second floor apartment, a new door will be placed at the top of the stairwell in front of the attic and second floor apartment entrance to unify these spaces as a single unit.
The attic has now been completely gutted and we are looking for advice on how to plumb out the new bathroom.
Because we are unable to soffit in the second floor the bathroom will need to be on another step up, targeting max of 8", to accommodate the space needed for plumbing under the floor. All drain lines will be connected to an existing 4" cast iron stack. The previous installation did the same thing.
In the stepped up bathroom there is a toilet, lavatory, shower. A wet bar will be located in the stepped down bedroom along the bathroom wall.
Attached are before pictures, with the plumbing that was used. A plumbing diagram, bathroom layout, and an elevation looking towards the bathroom.
Questions and Process:
- We intend on cutting the cast iron and tieing in 4" PVC using no-hub clamps, the exiting cat from going through the roof will be in place and supported with framing and friction clamps. Isues with this?
- Can I use a Sanitary Tee, Left Side Inlet, 4 In, Hub to attach the toilet and the drain from the lav, wet bar and shower? http://www.sustainablesupply.com/Mueller-5784-Sanitary-Tee-Left-Side-Inlet-4-In-p/w189060.htm
- Any code violations that you see?
- Based on the drawings, any recommendations on the configuration?
- What am we missing?
Thanks! Steve and Joe
