The shower is located next to an exterior wall and the main sewer line enters the addition approx 2 feet away from the addition. I would like to come up from the main sewer line with a 4x4x2 vertical sanitary tee. Another 2x2x2 sanitary tee would be approx 1 foot above the sewer line. The tee portion would pick up the shower drain/trap. The other portion would continue up into the exterior wall above for the vent. See attached drawing. Is this an acceptable way to drain a shower? Thanks! Attached Images

Thanks! You do not show distances. If the weir(90) of the trap is within 6' of the sanitary tee and the stand pipe out of the 2" trap is less than a 20" riser...you should be fine.
