    Drain for new shower
    Hello,
    We are remodeling our bathroom, the only new thing will be the shower. My question is could we add the drain from new shower to the existing bath-drain (they are close to each other) and do we need vent for new shower?
    Thanks

    My code book says, " Yes you can". A total of 4 fixtures may be wet vented off a 2" drain line. Your shower and tub totals 4 fixture units. If the existing tub drain is 1 1/2" you will have to run a separate vent for the shower. Good luck, Tom
