Combining shower, tub, and toilet drains...
Hello... been browsing here a long time but first post. I have layed out a bathroom remodel. The tub has been moved and a shower added and I can't access the original tub drain. I can however access the 3" drain from the toilet, and want to confirm my layout will work.
The drains from the tub (1 1/2") and shower (2") will come together after several feet and continue in a 2" pipe until coming into the 3" sewer line about 6' downstream from the toilet. Each fixture has it's own vent at the fixture after the traps. Everything has a proper downward slope.
My main concern is the toilet being upstream in this layout. Am I OK as long as everything has it's own vent?

You've drawn sanitary tees in which would be better replaced by wye fittings.
The union at the shower/tub junction is a long-turn wye, as well as the union into the 3" drain from the toilet.
I appreciate the responses, btw...
