installing a wet bar with a sink .using 2inch drain how far away from the main vent stack can it be before tying into the main vent ? and what size vent pipe should i use .and do i tie it in with a 45 or 90. thanks 4 any help
HiCustomerbr />The max distance the trap on a 2" drain can be from the vent stack is 6'. A 1 1/2" vent should be more than adequate unless your wet bar has more than 4 bar sinks. Vent fittings can be short radius so you can use a 90 or a 45. Only drain lines must have long radius fittings for direction changes unless the change in flow direction of the drain is from horizontal to vertical

thanks for your fast reply. but i was wrong about the drain size .it turns out the pipe size is 1 1/2 " is it still ok to use the 1 1/2" vent size? the vent stack is 9 feet awayfrom the drain trap
Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I was taking a break. Yes you can still use an 1 1/2" vent. And since the trap is 9' away you can use an 1 1/2" drain as well but you will need to cut in a vent TEE (branch looking up) within 5' of the stack and run an 1 1/2 back vent back to the stack from this TEE.
