I have read previous posts on your site that give me a partial answer regarding my stubbed out basement, but I want to ensure I am clear about a few things that are not clearly spelled out (at least to a novice like myself).
So from past posts I can safely assume that the pipe I have labeled "B" is the vent pipe, that pipe "A" is the drain for the shower/tub, and pipe "C" is for the toilet. Pipe A and C protrude about five inches above the basement floor, and pipe B protrudes about three feet above the floor and is in the middle of one of the stud cavities.
First question is related to pipe B; if that is the vent pipe do I need to extend it towards the ceiling and through the exterior wall or leave it as is (capped).
Second question might affect the answer to the first; I want to put in a sink which I have identified with dotted lines. Can I tie into pipe B to use it as a drain as well as a vent pipe. If do that, will I need to use a studor vent for the sink or will the vent pipe vent all 3 fixtures properly?
