Been lurking for a long time but now just getting around to a bathroom remodel and could use any advice before the inspector shows up and makes me redo everything. I love everyone's use of Google SketchUp. Use it its free! http://sketchup.google.com/product_suf.html

What do you guys think of these models?
Things to note:
--My local code is IPC.
--IPC allows the double san tee for back to back water closets as long as the developed length is greater than 18 inches. I have about 3 feet on the right side and 4 feet on the left. (Model isnt to scale)
--I could vent the w.c's but best I can tell IPC allows for wet venting.
--The tub vent is 5 feet from the trap which I believe is right at the limit for the 1 1/2 pipe.
--Not shown is that I will convert to 2 inch as the lav. and shower dump in.
--The vents both are dry above and vent to the roof.
Options
#1: An easier option for me would be to drain the lav. into the vent for the tub but I am not sure if that is legal. Is it? WOuld be easier though as the wye's for the lav and shower will be in between joists and it will be a tight fit.
#2: If you guys hate the double ST with the side inlet, I may have room to drop down a little and use a double wye. The arms of the wye would extend up a bit to current level of the w.c. and then use a 45 to get back to horizontal. The other fixtures would enter the stack at the same level as shown in the model with a regular santee fitting. Guessing I would absolutely have to vent the w.c.'s then.
Thanks.
Close UP
Option #1
Option #2 (will add vents for the w.c.'s)
