I live in Southern Illinois, near St.Louis.
I am attempting to finsh my basement and the wife wants to put in a bar with a sink. I have never done plumbing before so I called around to have it done for me, but was being quoted around $1800.00 for just the drain pipe. While this may be an appropriate price it is far more than I was able to afford curently. My drain opening is a straight 15' from where I can connect to my basement bath room drain pipe that then goes to a sewage ejector. Or 13' from the drain for the AC/Furnace unit, which also leads to the sewage ejector, but will have to have make a turn. So, now I am left to doing it myself. I would appreciate any and all advice on how to go about this. What I have learned from the internet thus far: 1.The drain pipe should slope 1/4" for every foot of pipe. 2.The drain pipe needs to be vented.(Air Admittance valve from Studor?) thats it. Immediate Questions: 1. What do I need to cut the concrete? 2. Can I connect to the drain pipe from my basement bath room? 3. Can I connect to the drain pipe from the AC? 4. Which is better/worse? 5. How do I do a vent pipe? Please help! |
