In Ohio, is this a acceptable method of venting the two floor drains. The vent is less than 10' from the second drain connection. The cleanout is in a basement. The main is 4" dia. The floor drains are 3" dia.

The ipc has some provisions that allow arrangements like this. The floor drain pipe sizes need to be increased to allow this, but I do believe it's allowed. I'd have to look to find any of the specifics.

Generally good plumbing doesn't allow this, but the ipc I'm pretty sure does allow it.

actually some wiered stuff allowed on continuis waste. I didnt mention the trap arm offset because I Think there are situations that may allow it , and the crude drawing might not be accurate but Id review the whole situation Im thinking its probebly not legal .

Whats the issue are you building this or is it in current use? generally Id avoid a system like this Last time I looked it up I saw it required submital to AHJ, aproval and desighned by a professional if I recall corectly. Im not sure whgich code I was looking at. If you are serious let us know all pertinet info
