To all the YouTube experts, code citing clowns, and Debbie downers: 4 years later (project was completed June, 2014) and I'm happy to report that I have had ZERO issues with this install. That's right NONE! So to all the BS comments I've gotten over the years (most of which I delete because it's just not worth my time) maybe you should just go have a beer instead of being a tool and striking the keys on your keyboard like you're some plumbing god. Or better yet, post a video of your install so we can criticize you as well, Cheers!
For DIY no too bad man…the real only thing is that trap arm should have a re vent closer to the 90 . Here code allows for a 2" waste arm cannot go further than 3'6"…but all in all not too bad bud
Just a little advise. When you dry fit your pvc use a sharpie marker. And draw a line and a number on your pvc everything will line back up. Also the reason why your stuff didn’t line up is because. It was dry fitted. So it wasn’t pushed all the way into the fitting. When you primed and glued it everything. Would of been shorter that what you needed. Just a little help. But what a great job man. I’m looking to do the same to my basement .
I am about to tackle an identical project, lift pump and all, and I have one question, how do you keep the toilet flange and shower drain flush with the floor when you have to pitch the drainage 1/4 per foot?
Just a tip use a concrete saw instead of a jack hammer it’s a quicker and better way of doing it and to code u should drill rebar into each side staggered from side to side every 18 inches with a vapor barrier for radon. You tube should really make it so only licensed plumbers can up load plumbing videos of plumbing installs.

Nice job. How much elevation can you get out of that pump? In other words how high will it pump the sewage before tying into horizontal septic pipe?

No toilet vent ?
Hey man I'm in Jamaica and I'm an apprentice and I love this video with all the details. Thanks man
Great vid. Only thing I do is wet saw the slab with a 14" power saw, but I own one. If you have to rent the jack hammer might be the way to go.
