the basement floor has been chipped in accordance to the drawing where I’m laying pipe now I’m wondering would this be legal and still work as a wet vent?

Not sure what fitting you were planning on using at the intersection between the 2" and 3" drain.

Hi, this vent question is one I'm on here looking for. Is there any reason a guy couldn't go 2" vents throughout (say, an addition) where there are 2 bathrooms (shower, lav, WC each) and a new laundry room with laundry tub. Eventually the 2" vents tie into the 3" stack. But my real question is that all over I see 1 1/2" venting referenced. Is it a preference, or material cost, or does it have to do with airflow physics? Can venting be too big?

When I got my inspection prior to cementing the floor in, the plumbing inspector made me switch from 4" drains to 3". My three boys duke footballs, I wanted 4" - he made it sound like I was doing it wrong. Long story, but I'm still pissed. So I guess that's my real question - can venting be too big?

I was planning on using a 3x2 reducer then a 2” 45 to go to the 2 inch portion. would that still work as a wet vent.
