View Full Version : second story bathroom additions
When adding a second story to a single story ranch, can the 2 new
upstairs bathrooms share the same sewerline?
They can if it's sized correctly.. I'm thinking 4" would do it.

3" is probably more than enough. Here is an online code reference: http://www.metrokc.gov/health/plumbing/unitvalues.htm It's for Seattle, but pretty much mirrors UPC. Two normal bath, i.e. lav, tub/shower, toilet would be 12 fixture units. 3" takes up to 35 fixture units horizontal and 48 vertical.
I guess I'm too used to commercial construction and my current project. :)
