    question on vent at an angle

    I am putting in a double vanity and I would like the vent to go in the middle of the two drains but my vent is off to the right side. Can I angle the vent so it connects to the middle of my two sinks after the traps. At this point the walls are open as I have not put sheet rock up yet.
