New-ish diyer here. Im wondering if i can do this for my bathtub drain. I know there needs to be a vent after the trap to prevent a siphon from forming and pulling the water out of the trap. I am confined to a small area and the vent cant really be placed anywhere else. Im wondering if i can do this, as shown in the picture. Essentially everything sounds good but the shape of it all is messing with my brain. Is the trap arm long enough? Is that sharp bend off the tee going to cause issues?

It would essentially look like this from the side once completed

You're best off with a long turn 90 coming off the vertical of the santee.
You have the right idea though. You could also pick up a 2.0" x 1.5" x 1.5" santee if you don't want to reduce down after the p-trap to the santee.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
