i am planning the plumbing for a new 2nd floor bathroom into an existing 4" drain in the basement. Due to space limitations in the walls / closets in the house I am planning to run the drain accordingly.
From the basement the 4" drain pipe will run vertically through the 1st floor closet above the existing drain line. It will make a 90 degree turn (using 2 45's) at the top of the 1st floor closet to turn the 4" drain 90 degrees into the 2nd floor joist space. It will then run roughly 10-12 ft in the joist space terminating at the toilet. The toilet will be at the very end of the 4" run with a shower taping into the same 4" line 5ft before the toilet. I am planning on putting a 4" end line between the shower and the toilet to vent both the toilet and shower on the same 4" vent.
Can this be done or do I need a secondary 4" vent to the roof line where the drain makes the 90 degree turn into the 2nd floor joist space? I can't see why I would, but then again I'm not a plumber either.
