    Ok to use a sanitary cross in a wet vent?

    sanitary cross in a wet vent? Right, it looks like my wye is reversed in the diagram. I should have drawn it so the shower p-trap is on the left side of the drain line. Thanks to everyone for their comments! - it looks like I have a workable solution now.

    Ok to cut or extend closet bend?
