Hey all,

While I am working on the interior and roof, I have to do some work on the standpipe that vents the bathroom sink, the pipe that snakes up beside the frig . So I was looking at it and wondering something. I understand why this standpipe is needed base on the original design layout where the bathroom sink trap ties into the bathroom standpipe then about 6 inches below this "T" the pipe travels over to the toilet standpipe and "T's" into that pipe. However I was wondering if I just ran the bathroom sink trap output directly to the toilet standpipe "T" shouldn't this work just as good? This would allow me to remove the existing sink standpipe and a lot of extra pipe, and allow me to reclaim another 4 inches of space between the bathroom module and the frig module. Also it allows me to close up another roof penetration point Smile

Thanks again...
