    Venting for back to back bathrooms
    Hi guys,

    I'm working on remodeling my bathrooms- they share a common wall, and I need to shift some the drains. Both bathrooms share a common wall, and I believe there is a 4" main line running out to the curb.

    Can I plumb the system up according to the following?:

    Details: (#1 refers to bathroom 1, #2 refers to bathroom 2)
    1. Everything is within 3 ft of main line except for Sink #1, which is 5ft away.
    2. Currently there is one 2" vent for 2 toilets/2 bathtubs/1 sink (#2). Aforementioned sink #1 has its own 2" vent.
    3. Both 2" vents exit through roof.
    4. currently everything is beneath concrete (soon to be removed) so I am not 100% sure of how piping below is done currently.
    5. Single story, all plumbing would be beneath concrete.
    6. all sinks/bathtubs will have their own P-traps.
    7. Toilets appear to be 3"

    Proposed:
    (from end of stack -> curb)

    Cleanout -> Sink #2 (and 2" vent) -> Bathtub #1 ( and 2" vent) -> Bathtub #2 (and 2" vent) ->Toilet #1 -> Toilet #2 -> 2" Sink #1 (and 2" vent) -> ->curb

    Questions:

    1. Sink #2 and Bathtub #1 are very close; they may be able to share same drain into main line. If so, can I use one 2" vent for both? (See 3 vent proposal 2)
    2. If I use a Wye cleanout + vent, do I still need vents for question #1? (See 3 vent proposal 1)
    3. If I rejoin 4 vents into 2 in the attic, do I need to increase the vent after 3" up through the roof?

    Thanks in advance- I've already scoured the board for all relevant info prior to asking!

    If wet venting's allowed in your area I would go with the second drawing. The only change I would make would be to lose the tub vent as it will be wet vented by the lavatory that wet vents the other tub.
    Good luck, Tom
