venting a bar sink not near house drain using a utility sink pump to pump up about 2 feet to the drain pipe
Author: rweb611 (IN) putting in bar sink. I have to use a utility sink pump to pump up to drain line about 2 feet. pump instructions says to vent the pump to house vent but house vent is nowhere close. It also says NOT to use a AAV valve with this pump. Note: the bar is close to an outside wall. What is the best way to vent this installation?

Greetings,

A possible suggestion?...

There is a PVC vent that I saw sold that "splices" into the drain pipe under the sink that, when the sink is used, automatically "opens" up, somewhat like a check valve but for air, to allow air and to vent for the drain to function property...It is most likely NOT legal by code but, in an "emergency" ya gotta do what ya gotta do....The "vent" vents to wherever it is located and opens to allow the drain to operate...Hope this helps...

Author: steve (CA) The OP needs an open atmospheric vent for the sump, to allow air out of the sump basin when water is flowing into it and also allow air into the sump when pumping water out.
