I redid my entire DWV system in the house. Three and a half bathrooms one kitchen and a laundry room. I have been doing plumbing for quite a while but this is the first time I undertook such a large project myself. I'm curious as to if my fittings are the correct ones. I'm asking because I realize there are a lot of rules with what bends can and cant be used and I think I've used all the right ones.

Yes and I thought I saw that horizontal to vertical using a sanitary tee is acceptable.
That is the acceptable use everywhere. The fitting I commented on is horizontal to horizontal.

Are you referring to the one next to the p-trap in IMG_20200210_162004.jpg
Yes.

Also, in UPC, that vertical to horizontal elbow would have been a long sweep or two 45s. I think you used a regular bend, which I think is OK in IPC. That longer sweep would have been more important for kitchen drainage IMO.

So even though the left side of that tee is a vent and the right side is a drain, you still think its unacceptable? That is the vent for the tub.

I think that, if the objective is to conform to code.
