Adding a shower to a basement bathroom
Hi,
I am adding a shower to a basement bathroom. The wet vent, sink, and toilet are existing. Is this an acceptable way of connecting the shower drain to the wet vent?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the shower addition looks good. Assuming of course there's a trap planned. Even though it's wet-vented, it is allowed in a bathroom group laid out like this.
I think there may be an issue though with the two sinks tying into the drain in that configuration. I understand back-to-back sinks (like you have more or less) require a double sanitary tee. I'm a bit fuzzy on the code-implications of the way you have it set up, so I"ll have to defer that question to the pros here.
But at least for your question #1, you're looking good!
