I'm in Chicago, we're renovating the two kitchens: moving the plumbing to the exterior wall, and hopefully adding a compact washer and dryer to each apartment.
It's a two-story apartment building with a basement. The kitchen sinks drain into the same stack--please see the diagram attached.
Is this simple wet venting legal in Chicago? I believe horizontal wet venting is legal up to a certain length. Is vertical wet venting legal? And what are the size/DFU constraints if so?
I can imagine adding a "vent stack" parallel to the main which would have to jog around the sink drains--of course we'd like to avoid that complication if it's not necessary (a washer vent would further complicate).
The walls are open and we have a lot of freedom to upgrade but we want to do it right
