I am in the midst of remodeling my bathroom and exposed the plumbing. I wanted to replace the old lead P trap. I called in a plumber and he said that a new p trap would poke through the hole of the ceiling downstairs (2nd floor bath remodel). The clearance is too tight. The plumber is well familiar with these Levitt homes.
I did some research on waterless p traps and found the HepVo.

It will fit in the adjacent bay and when I called the company, the rep said that it can be mounted as far as 3 feet away from the drain. I less than half that. However a vent pipe is posing a problem for placement.
Water flows from left to right. Top pipe is vent.
I did this:
The HepVo will be mounted just left of the tee.
Will this work? Should I make the tee a wye? Does the tee have to be under the vent at all times?
Thanks in advance
