New 1/2 bath and laundry set-up - Freeport ME

Author: agentzed (ME)

Hi All,
Been a few years, but I'm back to adding another set of plumbing to our house. Attached is my rough schematic for a 1/2 bath with a potential tie in for a second bathroom on the floor above. My main question is whether the vent idea I have will work: I have planned a wet vent (same pipe as lav discharge) to vent the toilet approx. 5' from the toilet itself. Hoping this will work. Would love to hear some comments before I go get the permit.

Thanks Packy
Author: agentzed (ME) Thanks, Packy, those are nice words to hear... Cleanout would go in section below where lav joins wet vent? i.e., under sink and in wall? Edited 1 times.

Author: srloren (CA) He is probably referencing 3" because it comes off of a 3" line for better snaking later when you need to clean it out.
