Plumbing question

[94essex]

I'm in the process of renovating the master bathroom which is way over do. My question is can I use 45 degree joints to slant the vent pipe so it runs flush with that wall? I'm going to build a 4ft wall or so where that vent and water lines are. The tub will sit left where the hole is and shower on the right. I'm running new pex through the roof and will need that wall to feed the tub. There was a wall seperating the tub and previous shower, but wanted to open that wall as it was a super small shower. Another idea was to cut out some concrete and run a new pipe up through the wall and braces.

How about a couple 22.5 degrees to make a gradual 45 degrees? Vent, correct?

it is just air venting. I put in a couple of 90's when i moved mine with no problems. I also had a few 90's in the original pipes from 1971.

Thatd be better. Ya it's just a vent. I plan on leaving both drains where they are and just slanting of that existing drain and runnin it up that wall. Just dont want any drain problems. Didnt know if that vent had to stay strictly verticle

Ok good to know. I have a real problem with over thinking everything to a fault. I figured with it just being an air vent I had a few options

Basically as long as it doesn't run DOWNHILL sonit could trap fluid you'll be just fine with a vent offsetting it

You want to run it over to the wall on the left, then up, so you can build a pony wall between the fixtures? If so, go up 40” and just 90 over through your pony wall.

That seems like the easiest solution. Thanks. I wasn't positive if using 90s were ok in that situation

This, its just a vent, now if it is your vent that handles your main drain line for the up stairs, adding a clean out and an acess panel is worth the $40 or so. If you ever have a clog your plumbwr will thank me

It appears to only be 2” so it shouldn’t be, but that does bring up a good point. There are no fixtures (sink, shower, lavatory) above this that are tied into that pipe is there? I assumed there was not.

If you run a 90 put an access panel below it or run a couple 45’s just in case you ever need to snake a drain from the roof - it’s a bitch to get the snake past a 90 the more snake you have out.

Ya its ground level, only single floor house.

Ok good idea. Thank you.

Ok good idea. Thank you.

I should have said put an access panel for a clean out under the 90.

you could also run a studor vent (carbon air filter) and save some pipe work etc. the vent just sits on the dnd of your riser inside the wall. can have/tolerate an access panel for future replacement.
