re-routing vent line
I previously posted on cutting a cast iron waste line in the attic to
tie in a vent, but I might have an alternative to avoid doing this, so here's my dilemma. I'm trying to eliminate a soffit in my kitchen. In this soffit runs a vent line horizontally (parallel to the soffit). This vent pipe picks up the 2 bathroom sinks on the upper level of my split level house. The vent line ties into the main waste stack in the soffit(like this) I____vent_______________III I III I III I III waste stack Osink III I III Can I reroute the vent line up to the attic between the wall studs, run horizontal in the attic, then back down between the wall studs to tie into the waste line (like this) I________vent_____________I III I I III I I III waste stack I I III I I_________III Osink |

I_____vent___I III I I III I I III waste I I III stack I I_____III Osink I It's still as clear as mud :-) Does the waste/soil stack extend thru the roof? Where are the bath fixture connections in relation to everything else? Could you create a line diagram in Paint or similar and upload a .jpg to PhotoBucket or similar? Jim |

Jim- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Sorry about the confusing multple posts. When I originally posted this message with a line diagram, it did not come out right , so I deleted the message. But to answer your question, there is nothing else connected to the stack upward, it just goes through the roof. The bath fixtures are on the second floor. Those are the highest drains in the house. I'll try to post an image later. |
