Adding a second bath to a bungalow

[setherichards]

Hi there,

I am in the process of adding a second, 3 piece bathroom in my house. I am planning on running the drain through floor, parallel to the joists. I have enough room for proper slope. Here is my layout. Does this look suitable?

Thanks

Plumbing ain't my forte but I thought that venting was not needed for toilets. [:-dunce]

Really?

The size of the drain supplied to some toilets is big enough that a vent isn't needed. Right?

I think you could run that drawing past the authority and see if he accepts that setup. I see no glaring problems there. Your drawing shows the tub/shower drain below the toilet drain, but that is because of the perspective, right?
