Hi fellas.
I'm redoing my bathroom and ran into some old out-of-code plumbing on the lav sink and tub / shower drains. Basically, both the sink and the tub drain to the same drum trap, which then drains into a 2" vertical cast iron pipe that connects back to the main 4" cast iron stack for vent / drainage. I've mocked it and the materials up in the following crude MS Paint image:

I would like to remove the drum trap and put in some new PVC P-Traps for the tub and sink. I was thinking I would cut out a section of the 2" cast iron pipe and insert either a no-hub cast iron sani tee or a PVC sani tee with shielded couplings (if the latter is up to code). I've mocked this up as well:

I was just wondering what you guys think of this? Do you see any issues with this set up? Since I'm tearing things up anyway, I'd like to bring it all up to code, if at all possible. I'm in MA, in case there's someone more well-versed with the code than me.
Thanks!
