I didn’t get a test ball yet, but like the Cherne as Wayne suggested. Is the advantage of a wye vs c/o tee less turbulence created at stack? I have the room, but would prefer to hide in the wall any way. The inspector didn’t give me guidance, but seemed to suggest the test tee was only for...

I’m glad Wayne mentioned the shower was wet vented in my drawing and the dfu difference. Another thing I should have mentioned was the shower will have 3 heads, so 4 dfu and with the double lav exceeding that limit on wet. I’m going to run a dry vent right after shower wye, by rolling wye at...
