    Wet venting a bathroom group
    I live in Florida, slab home and I'm adding a tub and laundry room. I would like to use a single 2" vent/drain combination to wet vent a 4 fixture bath group. Sketch is attached. My questions are:

    1) Is the drain 1.5 to the p-traps then 2"?

    2) Does the 3" drain transition to 4" at the exiting clean-out?

    3) Can the wet vent be on the last fixture downstream?

    4) The length of run is unlimited if proper drop is maintained?

    5) Do I wye into the existing 4" drain with a wye and rubber collars?

    Thanks for your help...

    Greetings from Sarasota,
    1) Is the drain 1.5 to the p-traps then 2"?
    No the drains and traps are 2" to the tailpiece of the fixture. The 2" trap will use a 2 X 1 1/2" nylon gasket to pick up the 1 1/2" tailpiece.

    2) Does the 3" drain transition to 4" at the exiting clean-out?
    Here's where it gets confusing. You don't have a toilet to go with the tub/shower? Anyhow check your local code. In Manatee county I can use 3 inch under the slab but Sarasota County holds me to 4 inch.

    3) Can the wet vent be on the last fixture downstream?
    Get ready for a truckload of bad news. In technical terms, your plan sucks!!
    EVERY fixture that has a trap MUST be trapped.
    The only fixture in your plan that can be wet vented is the tub. And the tub must be wet vented back to a drain line of a fixture that has its own vent. The other fixtures MUST BE VENTED, however, the vents may be tied together and revented back to a dry vent in the attic.

    4) The length of run is unlimited if proper drop is maintained?
    True, 1/4" to the foot slope.

    5) Do I wye into the existing 4" drain with a wye and rubber collars?
    You cut into the main with a No-Hub wye and connect with Fernco Banded couplings.

    Vent the other fixtures and check the code and you're good to go. Good luck, Tom
