Please Help Me With Shower Plumbing

[seanmathes]

A guy over at the John Bridge tile forum suggested I come over here for some help. I am in the process of building a shower. I recently put in the plumbing and a few of the guys over there are telling me that I have an issue with the horizontal wye. I am pretty sure what I have is a wet vent.

Honestly, I am not getting a building permit or an inspection but I do want to do it right. As long as it operates correctly and I won't have any major problems the way it is I am fine with it.

Here are a few pics and also the link to my post at the other forum.

the plumbing stuff begins on about page 3.

Thanks for any input I really appreciate it.


As I say in the pic below. The 3" stack is less than five feet from the drain and actually closer to 3'. This drain comes from a bathtub that is just to the right of the shower. This is a 2" horizontal line.

All I see is a piece of pipe. Please provide more info on how this drain is constructed.

Wow, that was fast! Sorry I was editing the post to add more and you already replied.

Okay where does the other end of that wye go... Sorry for the too quick answer.

To the right it goes to the stack or the wet vent, I believe that's the right terminology. This is a 3" stack with a pipe going up and one going down to the sewer I think. To the left is the trap and drain for the tub. In the picture you can see the drain and trap for the shower.

Here is a better picture where you can see the stack.
