I'm replacing a shower/tub combination with a shower that will drain where the tub/shower used to drain and a new tub on the other side of the bathroom. I'm also removing one of the two sinks in the bathroom. Can I safely drain the new tub into the sink drain I no longer need (or into the main drain reasonably close to where the old sink drain entered). Do I need to worry about enough vents? The entire bathroom is 12 X 8. The shower is in the SE corner. The new tub will be in the NW corner. Sinks are along the S wall. Drain pipe runs pretty much down the S wall. Foot tub will be almost over the drain pipe.

Not familiar with what plumbing code you fall under. But under the UPC a new shower would need to have a 2" trap. A tub can have a 1.5" trap but connect to a 2" drain where its vented. Each fixture requires its own trap and each trap must be vented. If those rules can be met, then yes.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
