Best way to move sink plumbing and drainage
Hello everyone,
We're redoing our 2nd floor master and I need to move the sink on the right to the far end of the room. What is the best way to make this happen?

I would probably use a Sawzall to remove the sideways 2x4 in the former partition by cutting the nails. Then notch 4 more studs and use stud shoes, in the same manner as the other notches.
You should also have a dedicated vent for the far sink, so that will also need to be notched into the studs above the drain, maybe 5 ft high or so... again, using stud shoes.
If you are worried about the continuity of the wall due to the number of notches and stud shoes, add 2x2s over all the studs on that side of the wall after the plumbing and notching is complete. Notches and stud shoes are fine on an interior non load bearing wall.
And I believe that properly, the main line should have a double fixture tee with the left sink coming into the cabinet left of the stack, and the right fixture coming in from the right. We have professional plumbers here that will be along shortly to advise.

Yeah when you move it you need to revent it...Its not to code AFAIK as it looks..
But whats that sideways 2x4 in the middle? Is that some type of support that needs to be drilled through? Im not a carpenter...

Mike, he said they removed a small linen closet, so that's where a wall used to be. That sideways one could just as well be removed.

Do you think I have enough drop to simply cut the right drain off and extend it to the right? Or will
I have to cut off the main stack to make this happen?
Also, If the drain rises to the level of the shut offs what would be the best location to put the shut offs. I don’t know the exact location of the finished sink so where would be the best place to put them? Can the drain pipe come out inbetween the shut offs?

You can extend it, but at the end you will need to elbow up and add a tee. Then vent as I show... But you may be too high on the right sink... That's why I suggested lowering it all.. That way there will be no error.
You must vent like I show... The current config you have is not to code AFAIK...with current codes
