Need advice on moving powder room sink pipes 4 feet to another wall
I am getting ready to remodel my powder room. I would like to move the location of my sink 4 feet to another wall to free up some space. Before I start removing some drywall I wanted to ask how hard this job would probably be and what steps I probably need to take. I enclosed a picture of the sink and the wall where the mirror is shown is where I want to relocate the plumbing. Thanks in advance. I would like to relocate this sink under where the mirror is on the next wall.

Is the mirror wall (new sink location) an interior or exterior wall? If it is an interior wall your project is a possibility. If it is the home's exterior wall I would not put the sink there if you have freezing weather in winter.
It is not rocket science and a change like that is relatively straightforward. Unfortunately the devil is in the details and you really need to open the walls to see what your getting into. The water supply lines are the easiest to relocate and should pose no problem. The drain line is usually the difficult part since the pipe is larger in size and must have the required fall and be within distance of a vent.
It's also helpful to have access below and access above which makes it easier to replumb in a new location. If there is no access above or below in an attic or basement it makes it more difficult. And you never mentioned any of that. Once you open the walls, pics of what you find and a few from below would be helpful.
Obviously nobody will know for sure but just thought I'd ask in case anyone has a thought.
3 inch cast iron pipe in basement floor with an adjacent 1.5 inch cast iron vent, I'm assuming they are connected. Vent leads to rest of DWV sanitary system. Trying to figure out where the 3" pipe leads to. I can't hear water rushing when flushing a toilet and I don't smell sewer gas, rather, it smells like dirt/mud. This pipe is about 10 feet from the main sanitary sewer line in the basement. I found it when doing some demo, it was stuffed with a large tiling sponge. It goes down about 12 inches then turns 90 degrees to horizontal.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi all,
freeze last year ruptured my on/off 1" valve w/ test port, and parts were non-existant at the time. I got a 1" Midline valve with "test port" as a replacement, but it has a weird 5/16" sized male threaded test port on the side.

I cannot find anything in the way of fittings that would go on that so I can create a blow out port. Anyone know of something that might work? I'm not even sure what thread size it is!
Appreciate any thoughts!
