BATHROOM DRAIN SCHEMATIC Q'S.. HELP!

Author: jayjones (CA)

hello, attached are a couple photos of my remodeled bathroom drain layout.

this picture shows how my shower drain will be vented. the open 2" is what the shower will drain into. the shower drain is ~60" from this union. the 2" to the left connects to a vertical dry vent. just out of view to the left the drain turns 90* right and ~35* up, runs another foot, then turns another 45* up to vertical. any foreseeable venting issues here?

this picture shows the old shower drain (note p trap) which will now drain my vanity. the vertical to the left is a dry vent. any foreseeable venting issues here?
