For the basement bathroom, so that ends up going into a sanitation pit, then pumped out to the septic? Very interesting, you will have to cover that equipment when you install. I guess I thought the septic lines would be below the basement footer but they must be above. Great work!

Nice work. Gotta get it right, because once concrete goes down it ain't moving. :) Curious to why you're adding a vent for the toilet? Isn't it already vented from behind by both of the 2" shower and vanity vents? Could be different where you are, but I'm pretty sure our code requires the toilet vent to be within 6'. Not that it matters in your case as you have the equivalent of a 4" wet vent within 3' already.

Thanks for your comment! It's funny because I've had people troll this video with comments saying it's under vented! You are correct though! It is already vented enough without the other one added. I just figured why not add it because I know a wall is going there anyways and that I could always cap it if not used.

*OK, so for my under the floor piping under the basement floor, that will take all the waste water into the sewer line, I am thinking to put a 5 inches schedule 80 pipe. Cost doesn't bother me. Are there any drawbacks for this application? I just wanted to have a stronger and wider pipe under the floor so I, hopefully, never have to dig the basement floor to treat the broken or narrow pipe.*

When it comes to sewer, bigger is not always better. The liquid can move more quickly than the “solids”, thus…not draining properly. You really should consult an experienced plumber on this.

How come you didn't use a P Trap? Is the venting enough? I'm about to rough in my basement and I'm a little confused on this.

A P trap will be at every fixture once the bathroom is put in. A toilet comes with its own built in P trap. The bathtub's P trap will be installed in the access box, the sinks P trap will be in the future wall that's built. Thanks for your comment!
@davidunderwood4341

The venting is completely separate from the P traps. P traps hold water in place after draining so sewer gases are blocked from coming into the house. Vents protect the P traps from being sucked dry while the water is draining. The vents accomplish this by keeping the air pressure at a neutral atmospheric pressure. A great analogy is the small air inlet on a gas can. Hope this helps!

In a case where an additional drain line could never be added to the vent later on, when the concrete grade is an issue with a Y on its back. Sometimes codes can be overlooked. Straight from the inspector's mouth. The venting air doesn't know the difference. In 99.9% of other situations, your comment is absolutely true!
