I am adding a bathroom to my upstairs and want to make sure my venting is correct. I will be tying my sinks, toilet, and shower together. My shower venting is a little weird and want to make sure it works. The shower is in the middle of the room and because of that I need to run about 4 feet horizontally before being able to go vertical. It seems as though you need to wet vent it to do that and a dry vent will not work. Because of that I was planning on tying my sink drainage to the shower wet vent which eventually ties in with the toilet drainage. Will this work or do I have a better option? I included a crude sketch of what I am talking about. Thanks for your help.

How's that? Reach4's diagram looks like a compliant UPC wet vent to me. The WC has a 2" vent. The 2" segment from shower to the 3" WC fixture drain is carrying 4 DFUs, which is the maximum for a 2" horizontal wet vent, but is allowed.

Cheers, Wayne
