asking for feed back on my plumbing: i replaced a section of galvanized pipe that drains the bathroom sink. here are some photos (please ignore the water, was struggling a bit with leaks).

i replaced only this section for now and will replace much more of the plumbing in in the basement when i have more time. i used a fernco no-hub coupling to connect the 1.5-inch pvc to the galvanized.
i also cut out some of the copper water pipes in this order
exising 1.5-inch copper pipe >>
1.5-inch sharkbite connector >>
brass pex barb male copper sweat adapter >>
copper drop ear (both ends sweat) >>
1.5-inch copper L >>
1.5-inch compression fit, 3/8-inch shut off valve
a few questions that i have:
- the bottom of the horizontal pipe coming out of the sanitary tee is 18" off the current floor, is that up to code (on-center, it would be 19" off the current floor, i will be adding tile on top of it so the 'finished' floor would be ~18.25" on-center?).
- is there code that dictates the height of the water pipes coming out horizontally? (i couldn't find anything on this)
