Renovating my basement. There was a previous washroom in the same space which I have already gutted.
house is from the early 60’s

Making some changes to the locations of toilet and shower. Also the previous job was never done correctly.


hoping to get some help with proper venting and if I can make the setup work. I have dug up the main line so far to expose the old clay main drain. I plan to replace this with either pvc or abs at the edge of the wall to where it connect to my vent stack.

I will post a picture of it. Just trying to figure out how to add them here.

 

Welcome to the forums.

Pictures are very helpful........... How-to-insert-pictures.

 

Thanks! I had the pictures all ready. That made it easy.

The bathroom area will be the areas where inside the brown tiles.

To give an idea of the size it is 101" wide by 67" deep. It will be a little smaller once it is framed but I have from room to play with if needed.

 

Here is the layout I would like to setup.


On the left would be a large standup shower. 60" by 32" ( the red circle for where the drain would go)

In the centre where the " T " is would be the toilet.

The far right would be the vanity.

I am comfortable doing the work and working with the pipe but want to ensure I follow the proper code. I know to connect to the main line I have to use a "wye"

Hopefully the 3" copper stack in the bottom left of the room will be sufficient tie in for any venting needed.

 

If anyone needs to see any pictures from another angle please let me know.

I have never done drain work underground like this before. Mainly looking for some advice on how to best run the drain setup.
