When roughing in plumbing in a basement bathroom how far from the wall does the drain need to be for a tub?

It should be almost to the wall. When the tub is in place you'll be installing the drain and overflow. You'll then connect these to a p-trap and all of that will be connected to the roughed in drain. Give yourself a little room to work, and cut the concrete back to give yourself room to get in. You'll do the connecting from the end of the tub, so also make sure you have access. When it's all over, some city building and zoning departments are requiring that you pour concrete to seal off the exposed ground under the drain.

Do you need a drain in the basement in order to install a home water softener in the basement?
Depends upon the plumbing code in your area.... A traditional ion-exchange water softener does need a "drain line". Typically 10-50 gallons of water are sent to the drain during each regeneration . Depending upon the local plumbing codes this drain could be: - a floor drain - a deep-sink drain (wash basin) - plumed directly into the household sewer drain (typically this installation uses a device called an air-gap)

Unclog Your Sink With A Plumbing Snake?
Clogged drains in the kitchen and bathroom can prove to be a problem. After you have tried liquid drain cleaners with no luck, try a plumbing snake. The snake is inserted into the drain and goes only a certain depth. If there is any kind of clog into the drain, it will either push it through the plumbing system or you can pull the clog out with the snake. Make sure that you are using the end of the plumbing snake that has the small hook on the end so you can easily pull anything out of the drain that may be stuck in it.

What causes gurgling in one bathroom when another bathroom is used?
A vent for the drain system may be blocked. A home or building plumbing system must be "free flowing" with a vent to the outside atmosphere - usually through the roof. When water is forced down the drain and the vent for that drain is blocked, air will be pulled from inside the building through another plumbing fixture causing the gurgling sound. The main drain line may also be partially blocked whereas when water is forced down the drain the air in the drain line may be forced back into the building through another plumbing fixture causing the gurgling sound.

Does the Ontario plumbing code allow a U loop in a vent line for a basement bathroom to get around a heating duct?
No plumbing code allows a loop in a vent line. They must be pitched just like a drain line as there are many conditions where water can be in a vent line, such as rain through a roof vent and condensation. If the "u" were to fill with water it would no longer function as a vent.
