Hi all,
This forum has been a treasure trove of information for me over several projects. My wife and I are I doing lots of remodeling in our first home. It is a 1962 ranch lived in my the builder for one year before the couple we purchased it from bought it.
After ripping out some soffit/bulkheads, I was getting ready to plan the plumbing for a double-sink vanity to replace the original single. I decided to just rip the plaster off the whole wall to make plumbing and electrical easier. Because the drain running the length of the house has had several leaks develop and internal rust grab waste which created near-complete blockages, I will finish that off with full PVC. Essentially, I'll be doing a full re-plumb job of this bath and the drain from this branch to the main.
My biggest issue is whether or not my proposed design is correct. This is based off of information I have gathered here about drains and vents. You'll see the original copper drains and vents, which will be removed. The vanity is going to be all the way to the left. That wall is 95.5 inches wide. I have a double fixture fitting going between lavs with 1.5 inch drains in, 2 inch out. That drains into a santee in the vent stack behind the toilet, which vents the entire bathroom, including the shower. It is 3 inch pipe. The vent from the top of the fitting would be 1.5 and also go into a santee up higher.
I appreciate the knowledge of the folks here and look forward to hearing from you all!

I'm glad I followed the Toto recommendations from this forum! And also, Menard's has the double fixture fitting. My Home Depot and Lowe's stores list it in ABS, not PVC, and stock none.
