Hi- New to the forum. Big time DIY guy, but I haven't done a lot of DWV work.
Scenario: Master bath remodel, 2nd floor, 3" stack turns down right behind the toilet to go to the 1st floor. Toilet is currently plumbed with a low heel elbow on it's back, 2" heel that connects the rest of the fixtures (2 sinks, shower, tub, venting). I'm dealing with 2012 IRC and I know that you can't do this with that fitting, so it has to come out.
My question is how to replace. Can I put a 3" wye on it's back, 45 up to the closet flange, with the straight part of the wye connecting the rest of the fixtures? I'm asking because every drawing I've seen has the closet on the end of the line, in this case it will be in front of the shower, tub, and sinks (which will be properly vented). Or do I put the wye on it's side and run a parallel 3" stack to connect the rest of the fixtures?
Sorry if it's a basic question- thanks for any assistance!
