I'm trying to get a plan together before I glued this and I'm seeing some different opinions on this configuration. Some say a horizontal low heel is okay here some say it's not legal. It seems PA and my municipality is under IPC. The quarter bend cannot serve a WC? Is that correct? I'll post another configuration once I set it up.

Doesn't look good. Depending on what that will connect to might make it more complicated.

PA IRC 2009:
P3005.1.2 Heel- or side-inlet quarter bends, drainage. Heel-inlet quarter bends shall be an acceptable means of connection, except where the quarter bends serves a water closet. A low-heel inlet shall not be used as a wet-vented connection. Side-inlet quarter bends shall be an acceptable means of connection for both drainage, wet venting and stack venting arrangements.

P3005.1.3 Heel- or side-inlet quarter bends, venting. Heel-inlet or side-inlet quarter bends, or any arrangement of pipe and fittings producing a similar effect, shall be acceptable as a dry vent where the inlet is placed in a vertical position. The inlet is permitted to be placed in a horizontal position only where the entire fitting is part of a dry vent arrangement.

That doesn't work anywhere.

A santee or a lo heel can't be used on the horizontal.
The vent 90 and medium 90's there below the flood level of the fixture are wrong too.

What are you trying to add with the 2" heading out?
