Wetvent in Bathroom Group with downstream laundry. Experts is this ok?

[RedBird52]

The dry vent line at upper right needs to stay within 45 degrees of plumb. To do that, run the trap arm over to the vent at the wall, vent it, and then route it horizontally toward where it needs to go.

what a great idea! Im not sure I have the height room in my floor, but I will investigate. THANKs for the tip!
here is what you mean right?

Isn't that red wye a stack carrying suds? Does Massachusetts not have a "10 pipe diameter" or equivalent rule at its base for suds?

The vertical 3" pipe above the red fitting, services the bathroom above. it is NOT a vent. (there is no 3" going through the roof here either, there is a 4" going through the roof in a different part of the house)
(if you look in this photo, you can see the bathroom group above.)

All I can easily say is that searching 248 CMR 10 (MA plumbing code) for "suds" yields only 10.15(8)(d) on "Laundries Drains in Multistory Buildings" which says it applies "In buildings where laundries are installed on more than three branch intervals," So that seems unlikely in a single family residence.

For the UPC, which I'm more familiar with, 711.1 on Suds Relief has exceptions for single family residences and "Stacks receiving the discharge from less than three stories of plumbing fixtures." Is there some other requirement for suds in the UPC?

Upc is 8 feet, but single family houses are exempted.

I'm aware that it's not a vent.

Not really. Looks to me as if you have a horizontal part. Can you come over to a 45 from the trap to a combo at the wall, and a 45 out of the combo? I am talking about the trap at the upper right, and it looks like you are bringing in the vent horizontally. You want that vent to be vertical, which is within 45 degrees of plumb (like a plumb bob hangs plumb).

I had marked up a drawing, but I cannot upload it either.

I am talking about the trap at the upper right

Trap in upper right (now in yellow) is a wet vented shower drain...



This project has had a bit of scope creep. What started off as a simple bathroom refresh is now two bathrooms, two laundry, and a floor drain across two floors. Apologies for the confusion...

EDIT: ohhh you are saying to vent it on the other side of the room... along with the lav/wet-vent very interesting... I didnt think of that. I need to ponder that for a bit.

I think you may be saying that vertical vemt has the lavatory on it, and the lavatory then wet-vents the shower and toilet. That is good.

I had been thinking that thing on the vertical was a cleanout, rather than a lav. For your other fixtures, you drew the traps.

I havent had too deal much with sud relief becaue I did almost all single family but some multi family mid and highrise and didnt get too involved in the layout it was big companys we followed a plumbing planon the big stuff . it looked ok to me but maybe john will come back with some detail on that

Hello Experts!

Could I impose with one more question. How do I measure the wetvent?

Is the Wetvent for the toile the puple pipe? or is it the Purple + Red pipe?

Why do you need to?

It's the purple plus the red.

[RedBird52]

Why do you need to?

I thought that there was a maximum length of a wet-vent. (6ft in ma) unless I was mistaken. Thanks for the clarification

No limit on wet vent length. The venting limit is on a trap arm, the vent has to connect within one trap diameter of fall from the trap outlet.

ohhh, that makes this so much easier then! thanks so much for sharing that with me!
