Okay, so I understand a sanitee cannot be "on its back" in a drain line. I however want to have the drain of my Toilet go between the joists and then go down alont the foundation wall and from there have a vent curve up into the outer wall.
I can accomplish this with a Sanitee sitting like an actual T and having a street elbow in one end of the Tee. Is that okay?

Here is a picture of what I am saying...

Sorry Mike,
Figure something out where you're not discharging directly into the vent. Good luck Tom

Yes, except it will be street 90.

That street 45 says "vent" to me. I'll get Mark to check it out. Cheers, Tom

As Tom said, that's no good. Can you post some pics of the actuall space you have to work with. It would be great if you could put that tee in the vertical, bring the toilet in the side and take the vent off the top.

Hi Guys

Like MGD77 said, a picture would sure help, but in any case what you propose is not legal... ;) Here, as stated by Tom, waste from the toilet can cross over into the 90 degree elbow and the vent could clog over time (nothing to wash the vent down).

I've attached a drawing showing how to do this in most cases. You can use 45s and street 45s to offset things as needed (not shown in drawing). See if you can make it work somehow...

Back to you...

Hey Once again thanks so much guys! I am learning a lot here and I am truly grateful! Especially thank you Mark, The pictures help a lot! I did not see any way to do it and stay within the joists however that first picture with the wye will work perfectly.

Is this okay?

Glad to help, Mike!

Yes, use a street 45 and the rest is perfect as drawn.
