Hi, This is my first post here and I would like to say thank you for all the contributors because I have read and learned so much on this forum.
I am planning a bathroom renovation and the location of the toilet is making it very difficult to vent. The toilet will be draining away from the wall it will be on and it is 9' to the the main stack. At first I wanted to wet vent the toilet using the Lav, but that would require me to use a 2" pvc drain running through 8" joists, so that is out of the question. I have found a website that explains using a reducing Y to vent the toilet, but this would mean that the vent run horizontally with a pitch up under the floor until it gets to the wall behind the toilet. Is that against code? Here is the webpage with the different configurations on it.

Either of these configurations would work fine for me, as long as it is suitable to do so. Also should I have a clean out there as well?
