How can I properly share a vent between a shower and tub on a horizontal 2" drain line (wet vent).
The dotted blue shows where the vent enters the wall and goes up through the roof (no longer horizontal).
Is this correct?
I mentioned sharing a drain with my local inspector and he said you could be you had to make sure you did it properly. He indicated possibly putting the vent before the shower which I didn't think made sense.
Thanks in advance.

There needs to be a back to back fixture fitting, or double tee in the vertical vent, one side inlet for the tub, the other for the shower.

As long as the vent does not come off its horizontal connection at the drain on the same plane.

When I use a back to back fitting this way, it is either in a vertical line, but more often in one on a 45 going up and into the wall above the concrete foundation.

Is the double fixture pipe fitting a code requirment? Since it's horizontal I believe the code says it has to be a long sweeping wye.
