I am in the planning stage of finishing my basement. Part of the finish includes a half bath with a toilet and sink. I am intending to use a Saniflo (or similar) macerator for removal of waste and water. I have found step-by-step instructions through forums, websites, and videos explaining the installation process. However, the one bit of information that seems to be overlooked every time is the installation of a vent line.
I plan to locate the bath under a junction where my two bathrooms and laundry room are located. I have clear access to the water and septic lines. My house is a ranch with ample room in the attic to access the existing vent pipe.
How can I go about venting the macerator? Do I need to drill from my basement to the attic? Saniflo has already said that their system does not work with air admittance valves (AAVs). Since all fixtures need to be vented, would I still be able to place an AAV on the sink, and do a normal venting on the macerator itself?
Thank you.
