First of all, fabulous forum and resource, thank you all for giving this long time lurker the confidence to tackle some light plumbing projects myself.
Apologies, as I know this has been discussed often, but I seem to get my mind twisted when I try to reconcile different threads, and it's likely due to me not having a full grasp of the lingo, but...I want to run a new 2" PVC drain in Illinois (IPC) for a shower (only the shower would be served).
Soon after the p-trap, I want to tie in a new 1-1/2" vent up thru a partition wall. For this, I need to use a 2" x 2" x 1-1/2" 45-Degree wye with a 1-1/2" 45 degree street elbow up for the vent, and I shouldn't put in a 2" x 2" x 1-1/2" santee "on its back" to save space, correct?
I've not measured yet, but perhaps someone off the top of their head can answer my second question. I want to use a shower kit with an "offset" drain, which is centered just 10" from the wall that I want to run the drain towards. Is that 10" going to be enough to fit both the trap and the vent fitting so that the vent can go up that wall? I've read that there needs to be run of at twice the diameter of the pipe (4 inches total) between the back end of the trap and the front end of whichever fitting I use in my first (above) question. It's going to be tight, at best. I may need to go to a center drain if I can't do this.
Any other problems or concerns I should be aware of?
