From 1 sink to two, new vanity questions
Hello
Im adding a sink in my bathroom remodel and want to make sure I get the drain piping correct. I plan to move the existing plumbing from the center to the left about a foot and a half, then add plumbing approximately 3 feet to the right of that. I was thinking I can just shorten the 1.5 inch ABS run thats existing, then split off the main drain (also 1.5") again below the existing sanitee and run over to the new plumbing/sink. Is that a good plan?
Im also curious about adding stop valves just beyond the right sink drop ear to have the ability to shut off the tub at the end of the line. What do I need to do that, and have access inside the vanity for it?
Thank you very much!

How to post pictures.
Depending on how you want to do it, you could use a double fixture fitting (this is NOT a double san tee) in the wall and branch off to the left and right for your rough ins.
Shutoffs can be added wherever you like. If you want them to remain accessible inside the wall, add a square Oatey access panel to the back of your vanity cabinet. They also make round ones that are smaller.

Thank you! I had seen that double fixture option - does it have any benefits vs the other? I have the parts for plan 1 but have no problem picking up more parts if my plan is at all problematic.

Rough illustration of original plan... Move existing to the left, add new under and run to the right

If the vent pipe is 1 1/2", it seems that according to 912.1.1, wet venting is okay, provided the dfu = 1. (According to table 912.3.)
One lavatory has a dfu of 1. So yeah, it seems that plan is okay, assuming nothing else is draining from above.

Is a bathroom vanity sink a "lav"? I realize that question exposes just how little I know about plumbing... But you're saying adding a second sanitee directly under the existing sanitee and running it over a few feet is going to work? Thank you very much for the help!
