I would like to install a toilet and sink in my basement. I already know that the toilet needs to be on a step (due to the sewer main 1' off the ground in the basement). My question is about the vent.
The main vent (for the toilet,sink,bath upstairs) is about 10-15 feet away from where I would like install the new toilet/sink, but I would like to connect the new vents to this (because I can not run it straight up due to the house structure). Can I connect it to the old vent? If so, how would I pitch it into the old vent so that the waste does not come down the new vent?
I know it is different around the country, but is that kind of distance generally "up to code" (10-15 feet away)?
Should I look at a different type of toilet to avoid connecting to the old vent? Is it legal to just run it outside directly above the foundation of the house? Is there any way around the smell if I did it that way?
Any help would be appreciated.
