Sanitary tee on it's back with tee horizontal too

[Geekything]

Hi. Moving this from the shower forum to plumbing...

I know a sanitary tee can be laid on its back with the "tee" pointing vertically. But can it be laid on its back with the tee pointing out horizontally -- of course the vent pipe would be 1/4" sloped.

This would avoid a great deal of bends in the vent for a shower remodal. Which is the next question: is the degree limit per bend (225-degrees?) or cumulatively?

Thanks so much.

P.S: For what it's worth, this is 2" drain and 1.5" vent. I'm in Ontario, Canada.

Um....no.

As a vent only, yes. For water/waste, no. Reason: you want the fitting to direct the flow.
