I've recently become a plumbing novice. I purchased an old house that needs a ton of work prior to moving in. This website has been extremely valuable in the process.
Anyway, here is my question.
I'm installing a freestanding tub with 1 1/2 drain. The drain is running parallel with the wall. About 4 feet from the trap, I'm running my vent line up. The vent needs to stick up out of the floor for about 3-4 inches, run horizontal 5-6 inches and then up between the studs.
I originally had this vent moving into and up the studs with two 90's, but as I started double checking, I dont think it's up to code. From my understanding, I can't run a vent line vertical until I'm 6 inches above the flood rim. Which in this case is a full bath tub? I don't have the option of running horizontal that high. The vent needs to be in the wall within about 24 inches of the floor. If I run the vent out of the floor with a 45 angle, will this be up to code?
Thanks

Yes, 45* is considered vertical.
