 DWV Layout
Author: bbstnr (MO)

Hi! I'm redoing the dwv in the upstairs of the house after I found that the cast iron was rotted so bad it was basically a trough. Anyway, This is how I have the system dry fitted right now. I have a few questions, 1. Will the tub be correctly wet vented if I leave it the way it is now? I know that's how is was done but I'm not sure. 2. They had a side-hub inlet 90 right at the closet elbow before but I'd like to run it under the joist to a wye. Is that ok? 3. for the lav vent do I run the sanitary tee teh way in the photo or opposite? 4. Is there anything else I should change/be concerned about? Thanks for any help! Pics are in the link

1. If the tub ties into the sink drain, then yes it will be fine.
2. Using a wye downstream will be ok.
3. If the tee is catching a dry vent, then you have it positioned correctly.
