New
Construction or Plumbing Remodels
When
Planning any plumbing addition, you must first consider code
restrictions, the limitations of your system's layout, and of
course your own abilities. Although its usually straight forward
to route supply lines to a new location, taping into a drain
waste vent (DWV) pipe is a different story.
The simplest
and most cost efficient way to add a new fixture or group of
fixtures is to connect them to the existing main soil stack,
either directly or through a branch drain. A common strategy is
to install them above or below existing fixtures on the stack,
piggyback style, but check codes carefully for restrictions.
Another way is to place the new fixtures back to back with an
existing group attached to the main soil stack.
If your
planned addition is across the house from the existing plumbing,
you'll probably need to run a new vent stack up through the roof
and a new branch drain to the soil stack or to the main house
drain via an existing cleanout.
