Hello, I am trying to figure out how to plumb the toilet I am going to be installing in the basement. It will be flushing into a 4 inch cleanout cap but I also am adding a sink drain to it and need a vent for the toilet while adding another cleanout. I am thinking about using one of these 3x3x3x2 double Y hubs (picture attached) to connect to the stack (via cleanout adapter and 4-3" reducer), the toilet, and new cleanout cap for the 3 inch ends while the 2 inch is the drain for the sink. Can I just vent the toilet in a T off that 2 inch side between the sink drain and the hub?

It's a rear outlet toilet with a 7 in high rough in. http://www.signaturehardware.com/pr...re.com/product13624?origin=product-search&cvsfa=589&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=323836303239 is the link to it.
In my area, if i'm understanding what you want to do correctly, that fitting would not be allowed . . . .
Please elaborate. Would I have to use two or three separate Ts instead of this one?Alan said:
I haven't built the walls or run any pipe yet. I want to have the plumbing figured out before I start. I plan on putting them next to each other with both attached to the same wall. (Facing the toilet) the sink will be on the left draining to the right into the 2 inch part of the hub with the 3 inch center one having the new cleanout.
A layout diagram would make it far easier to give input as opposed to trying to understand the written description. Ever heard of a picture is worth a thousand words?? No idea where in the world you are and what codes might apply.
I will try and make one up tonight and upload it here. I love in Missouri. I went to city hall and they said there wasn't anything required.
One consideration ... Suitably placed venting so that the toilet gases don't come up through the sink.
It's really difficult to tell you how to plumb it without any kind of diagram at all. It would be like trying to plumb a house without blueprints. Where's the walls at? Where's the starting point? Wood framed floor system or slab?
:huh::huh:
:huh::huh:
I finally got a diagram made. It's not easy doing line-art with Windows 7 on a netbook. Anyway, here it is. And as said it'll be in the basement and I haven't built any walls yet. The floor will be slab with a floating floor of polymer interlocking tiles from Home Depot.

Combo on its back a street sanitary on top for vent and sink drain should work for you providing I understanding what you want to do.
Ok so put a street sanitary where I have the brown circle? Do/can I just put in a T with cleanout cap between the special fitting and the main stack to preserve that?
I'll tie in the vent to the current vent pipe going through the roof. The vent is the top of the main stack and is in what will be the new bathroom's ceiling. The attached picture is the elbow under the toilet upstairs with cast iron vent pipe coming off of it that I'll put a T in.

So what you need is a 4x2 combo fitting with a 2x2x1-1/2" sanitary tee on top of it facing horizontally in the wall, and then use a 1-1/2" long sweep 90 to stub the drain out of the wall where your lavatory will be.
The top of your sanitary tee becomes the vent for both fixtures and needs to be tied into another vent in the house.

The drain line for the sink at 19" or higher above the floor? Doing that won't be an issue I think. Why is 19 the magic number if I may ask? The cabinet I bought is a basic one from one of the box stores. Cabinet with sink on sale for $39 was hard to pass up.
Also, should I use a separate vent line from the sink and meet up with the one for the toilet or does this vent allow for both. It'll be less than 5' of pipe from the sink to the tee.
