I'm remodeling a bathroom, it's almost doubling in size. In the garden level (built on a hill), it has a slab floor. Will have a new vanity, I figured quickly enough that I'll need to tie it into the toilet line somehow. Here's a pic of the toilet line as is:
In this pic were my two choices at Home Despot. The upper one is more normal but it's too long for the space I have:
I want to use the one on the bottom. Will be a snap to fit in place. I meant to take a pic of looking down into it. It's a bit odd the way the 2 inch line dovetails into the 3 inch curve. I worry that **** might get caught in it. I forget what this piece is called, I had it on screen a few days ago but I don't have the part (and the UPC code) with me now. I'll find that and take a pic tomorrow at the job.
Here's a crude drawing of the room and the opening I've since chiseled into the 'crete:
The previous wall was just to the left of the new vanity. the door right there also. The toilet will be much nicer, a one piece Toto, an elongated - Ultramax ll I think. It will be 90 degrees spun around. I decided to send the sink drain to the toilet line as I want to move it two inches back so I can get that 12" from wall - will go for 12.25, I've gotten way too close for comfort once or twice.
My thought is that the sink is usually run briefly after every toilet use so if anything was lingering in that smaller space, another sort of flush would soon be coming.
But this is sort of weird, I've never seen anything like it done anywhere. Anyone know if this is OK?
*Edited to add*
This is in the Bay Area, it's way busy right now. Mega large dollars have landed on our shores with Facebook. I would normally bring a plumber up to do this but eveyone is busy as hell with more lucerative jobs. And I am a half-fast plumber. So why not I say? Hubless fittings done made me into a pro.
The shower used to be in the upper left hand corner. A tub is going in.
The shower line too close to the surface to send the sink that way. Wouldn't be able to get good slope.

Just found a listing for the part from Grainger. They call it a "3" x 3" x 1-1/2" 90° Elbow with Low Heel Inlet." Looks like mine but they say it's a 1-1/2 " fitting. Pretty sure mine is a 2".
