I am puttin in a basement bath and was going to tie into the existing vent line. I was told that was against code and must run a new vent line to the attic and then tie into the stack. Why is that code?? I dont see how if the vent somehow flooded why it just wouldnt go into the drain line anyway.
Thanks

Is there other drins in the basemeant? if there are and you know for sure there are vent that you can tie too, then I do not see why you can't.

The vent line I was talkin about is from the first floor toilet. The basment bath I am installing is directly below the first floor bath. The existing toilet vent comes out of the toilet drain and then up (to the attic I assume). I was told you have to go 6in higher than the highest fixture,which would mean going up to the attic.

The soil stack does go into the basement slab and into the main drain. I want to tie into a vent (which is for the first floor toilet) which is in the basment ceiling and then goes into the attic (I assume) It does not connect to the main stack at the basement ceiling.

Where are you going to drain this tub to?
If there is no drain stack going into the basement floor, then are you planing on sump pumping it up and out?
You will nee to vent the tub line 6" above your highest fixture flood level rim.
There is no other options, you could use an auto-vent but there no code approved in alot of areas.
