Thanks in advance for giving advice. Long time lurker, but I haven't been able to see this issue addressed previously.
Short version: for a toilet, would a 2" wet vent (shower drain) connected to a 1.5" dry vent (shower vent) be okay?
1. Current tub has a 1.5" drainpipe, 1.5" dry vent, and connects into the main stack.
2. I'm thinking of moving the tub a bit and changing it to a shower with a 2" drainpipe. I know a 1.5" vent is acceptable for a 2" drainpipe and it would be easy to re-use the existing 1.5" dry vent. Changing the dry vent to 2" would be a lot of work and unnecessary for the shower, as I understand it.
3. Rather than connecting the new 2" shower drainpipe to the main stack (difficult due to access and other issues), I would like to connect it to the toilet drainpipe. Thus, the toilet will then be vented by a 2" wet portion (shower drain) and a 1.5" dry portion (shower vent).
4. Toilet drain currently has no vent and is approx 5 feet from main stack (allowable by local code). Shower drain would connect to toilet drain approx one foot from main stack.
Would the 1.5" dry vent portion be okay (in combination with the 2" wet portion) for the toilet? I know that 2" venting throughout would be optimal, but considering that the toilet isn't even separately vented now, having an additional vent would seem to be an improvement...
Here's a diagram. Assume my slopes and fittings are correct, but just don't show up in my diagram.
