I am building a full bath in my basement. This includes adding a sewage ejector pump since my main waste stack drains to septic fields at about 5 feet up from the basement floor.
The bathroom will be about 5 x 10 feet, with long side against basement foundation wall where main waste stack runs. So, it is 6 feet straight up from pump to waste stack.
I am adding the following fixtures:
Toilet
Bathroom sink
tub/shower
Bar sink
Ejector pump
The layout is posted in the attached powerpoint file below
Ok, I have run a new 2" vent line to vent these fixtures.
I plan to drain the toilet directly to the pump basin using a 3" to 4" line (the size of the basin inlet).
On the way to the basin (2-3 feet) the 3"/4" line will pick up the following:
1) The bar sink and the lavatory sink drains. I will run the lavatory drain around from the back wall and connect to the bar sink drain. The drains will be 1.25" pipe (I think) connecting immediately to 1.5" runs to 2" combined drain down to the 3"/4" main drain right next to toilet.
2) The tub drain which slopes directly from the tub drain (I assume 1.5") to a 3" run to the main 3"/4" drain.
Now for venting:
The sinks are separately vented using 1.5" pipes that connects to the 2" vent stack. Vent takeoffs are just after the P-traps, one in the foundation wall, and one in the left wall.
My questions center on how to vent the toilet and tub.
I think I can use the 2" sink drain (or 3" if needed) to wet vent the toilet, yes?
As for the tub, do I need a vent that takes off right at the p-trap (see drawing) or can I have the vent takeoff near the connection to the 3"/4" drain, about 7-8 feet away? Is that too far?
The pump is vented to the 2" line as well. Basically all vents are tied to that 2" line.
Also, I am a little fuzzy on standard drain sizes and how big/small they are. What is typical for a bar sink vs. lav sink, vs tub drain?
I am using all PVC pipe.
Thanks.
Also, I welcome any and all suggestions, even beyond just the venting.
