Advice on shower drain p-trap please >>

[Erick Didonato]

Trying to connect p-trap center of what’s supposed to be our future shower drain. Is this okay to go through the joist with a small straight nipple p trap from to then 90 towards waste drain pipe 90?

Yep.. no problem as far as plumbing is concerned.

May I use Santee where the 90 is coming out of p tap so that I can connect a vent as well?

No. All your vents below the flood level must be drainage fittings and the vent for the shower must take off the invert/top of the pipe

You should be using a solvent weld trap rather than one with a union. 2" traps with unions are prone to leaking and you don't want that. If you can use a LS 1/4 bend rather than what you have it would be better.
