Hello,
I'm moving my toilet in my main floor half bath to make room for a shower in my first ever renovation. I'm looking for advice on if I've got the plumbing configuration correct (I live in Ontario, but wanting to make sure the basic plumbing choices I've made are sound before I ask for my city inspection).
- Do the fittings look like the right choices?
- Are my vents in OK positions?
Thanks for any input.

Here's the layout now:

And here is what I am planning to do:

Maybe this.... long sweeps or 45s on vertical to horizontal. Wet vent should be fine Combo instead of vent tee or santee on its back would be better.

Thanks for your fast reply, I've done the following from your suggestions:
- have replaced 1st vertical to horizontal 90 deg from toilet with long sweep
- have replaced 2nd vertical to horizontal from toilet with combination sanitary tee for longer sweep
- used a went vent configuration (a little differently than the suggestion, to accommodate some framing that's in the way - hopefully it's ok)

Thanks again and if there's anything else I am open to criticism.

Nope. Toilet will need to come in after the standpipe trap vent.

Whether a santee on its back for a dry vent is accepted seems to vary by area. I don't know what Ontario says.

A 2x2x1.5 combo would be acceptable everywhere I think, but it takes a little more space. Your trap arm needs to be 4 inches or more, but I think the way that gets measured makes it unlikely to be a problem.

A wye plus a 45 is always good, and may offer an option for fine-tuning angles.
