First a little background.  I'm finishing a bathroom in my basement that was roughed in while the house was being built.  I have a sump-pit that needs to be vented.  Due to hvac and plumbing obstructions, I will need to extend the plumber provided vent pipe from the floor above a few inches below the floor joist and elbow to the next joist over so that I can connect the sump pit vent pipe.  This will produce a situation where the vent from the sump will make a drop down into the existing vent and back up again.  Sort of an oversized p-trap.  
 
Will this work? I have included a rudimentary diagram for a little more clarity.
