Hello, looking for advice on these plumbing connections and fittings. Doing a bathroom remodel and I’m realizing how limited my spacing between the 2x8 floor trusses is. I’ve layed everything out. Nothing is connected in the pics attached. Is the closet bend to wye a proper way to lay that out? I installed a fernco hub to the cast iron and a long sweep elbow into that. Advice is appreciated, Thanks.

For that closet bend, you can also get one that has a 4 inch spigot on top rather than the hub you show. I suspect that makes getting the height just right less critical. You could consider an outside compression closet flange. With glue, you have to get things right the first time.

For that drain from the sink, you want to raise that and feed the trap output into a sanitary tee in the vertical big pipe. You then have a nice wet vent.

For the tub/shower trap, I think you are OK. An alternative would be to feed that trap into a wye instead of a combo.

This is awkward, but...
