will putting a drain in a vent pipe be a legal way, or safe way to do?

Question

I am putting a bathroom in my basement and it would be easier to drain in the vent pipe by the sumpump.

Answer 1

Actually the vent line is part of the main drain line so it will all end up there in the long run.Just be sure you put in a what is called a "pee trap" so the sewer gas cannot come back through the line.

Answer 2

If the vent pipe goes into the sump, no. This would cause the sump pump to discharge human waste to wherever it drains. Each fixture (sink, toilet and tub/shower) needs to tie into the house vent besides being attached to the drainline.
