Good morning everyone first time poster here hope this is in the right place.

My basement bathroom has been roughed out for quite a time and I'm ready to tackle this project. I have a couple of questions that give me pause though before I begin.

1. The toilet and sink rough-in seemed very close together and I'm wondering if there will be issues when I install them.

2. The rough-in for the shower only had a pipe, I just added the p-trap but it's not glued in, how can I test the slope to make sure it's proper before I fill this in with concrete?

3. The sewage ejector tank is located just below and to the right of the sewage line. Sewage line drops down from above and ties in on the left to the sewage line running along the wall and out to my septic field. Where would I plumb the discharge pipe for the sewage ejector pump into this set up? Above where they join currently?

4. My last question is venting. Will venting the sewage ejector tank be enough to handle the venting needs of the shower, sink and toilet? Or must they be vented individually?

I've included pictures and I hope enough information any and all help would be greatly appreciated thank you so much!

You might want to edit that one.

Typically you will vent the lavatory, and wet-vent the shower and toilet. The wet-venting part under the floor should already have been taken care of, and you will vent the lavatory.

Sewer pit normally needs a 2 inch vent pipe through the roof.

Thanks for the diagram. I have a good idea of how the pump is set set up. It's where to Plumb it into the sewage line exactly. Just above the pit, there is already a T connected. Do i tie in above that?
