I am remodeling an old farm house and wish to add an upstairs bathroom. I can extend the existing soil stack through the current first floor bathroom and hide it in a plumbing chase. But, at the top I run into the stairs leading the the second story. I would like to run the stack vertically and then follow the underside of the stairs at a fortyfive degree angle for about 3' of pipe. Is this allowed? If not, can I run the entire stack out of plumb to miss the stairs completely. How much out of plumb is allowed?
Also, do all first floor fixtures need to be vented now that I am connecting a second plumbing group to the stack on the second floor? They are currently stack vented.
Thanks very much for any advice.
