I saw a thread regarding plumbing and not wanting to hijack it, I wanted to ask for some help also. My unfinished basement was stubbed for a bath and has a pump imbedded in the concrete to pump the waste to the main waste drain located below the ceiling (however none of the piping from the pump to the drain exists). Also there are no vent lines located in the basement. My house a a couple of studor valves located elsewhere, but is it okay to install them on a sump pump? I've thought about installing two of them in case one of them malfunctions. I've heard it's possible for them to quit working and that's why some codes don't allow them. I think perhaps they are relatively new to the industry and had to get some kinks worked out of them and some places are slow to adopt newer technology. Anyway, I'd hate for one to quit working on the pump. If it was just a sink I wouldn't care so much.
Also, if there is a vent on the pump, are vents required for the sink, toilet and shower drains which all flow into the pump?
Thanks for the help. While I can handle electrical, I'm a novice when it comes to plumbing. I also apologize for this post having to do nothing with my theater build, but I know a lot of you have experience with whole basement remodels.
