    Tying in new shower drain
    I am installing a new shower on a concrete slab. Can I tie the 2" shower drain into the 3" sewer line feeding from the toilet? I can install a new vent between the new shower drain and the toilet sewer line.

    Yes you may. Keep the vent within five feet of the trap to stay within code.
    Good luck, Tom
