Interesting plumbing system: offset partial wet-vent with branches after reduction. No violation of codes.

The system is typical. Coming up through a concrete crawlspace floor is 4” PVC with a 90-degree elbow below the floor that leads to an on-site septic. The first connection in the stack is a 4” Wye connection for a 4” toilet drain. Then a 2” shower connection. On top of that is a 4” Wye threaded clean-out. Then the 4” diameter stack is reduced to 2” diameter. The reduction fitting has a 2” 45-degree elbow on top.

The 2” PVC is pitched and runs for 4-feet before turning vertical and going up. Beyond the Sanitary Tee connection for the vent, are two connections for a lavatory sink and a kitchen sink.

All four branches (toilet, shower, lavatory sink, and kitchen sink) use the same 2” vent. For 4-feet (from the reduction off the top of the 4” stack to the Sanitary Tee for the vertical vent) the vent is a wet-vent because the two sinks supply waste water from beyond the connection for the vertical vent.

Appears to be no violation of codes. Can anyone find anything wrong?
