As a followup to my post below, I have a shower floor drain that has a vent running vertically (up into the attic) in an adjacent wall. On the opposite side of that wall, I have a lavatory that is currently draining via thin walled pipe to the trap of another lav in a double lav configuration. I am wondering if it would be possible to have the lav drain directly into this nearby vent line (wet venting?). The shower drain is 2" and the vent is 1 1/2". The lav is less than two feet from the vent line.

Clarification: this is a ranch. Shower/drain/vent are all on main floor, as well as lav (which is on other side of wall where vent line is running). Vent is 1 1/2" and shower floor drain is 2". I am wondering if this vent line can serve as the drain (as well as vent) for this lav, without compromising its original function as simply a vent for the floor drain? If so, is there any requirement regarding height above the floor drain where I am allowed to tie into it (or any other requirements for that matter ). I assume I would use a sanitary tee fitting for this connection. Thanks
