This depends upon the size of the vent pipe and how many fixture units you're installing on it. For instance, On a 3" vent, 30 fixture units with not over 6 water closets may be installed. A typical bathroom group consisting of a toilet, lavatory and tub/shower is 6 fixture units.
Let me know the size of the vent and the fixtures that will be using it and I'll let you know it will work by code. Regards, Tom

Hi Billy,
"I am building a custom home with shower.roman tub, toilet & two lav's in the master bath."

You may connect up to 10 fixture units on a 2" stack vent.
shower=2 units
tub=2 Units
Toilet5=4 Units
Lavs= 1 unit @ for 2 Units
It all adds up to 10 fixture units. You're OK ta g!!
Regards, Tom
