sink vent?

Is it true that if a bathroom sink is within a certain distance of the sewer drain/vent stack that the sink doesn't need a vent?

If so, then what is the distance?? (3 feet, 5 feet, 7 feet???)

No that is not true. Every fixture needs a trap and a vent after it.

Are you referring to an Air admittance valve ?

In Calif the allowed distance is 2 and 1/2 feet.

Can two fixtures share a common vent? I have a hot tub I want to install in my basement, and there is a utility sink with a vent attached in the basement, going up to the roof. Can I tee off the drain line for the sink with the hot tub drain and use the same vent? Both sink and tub have traps installed. Thanks.
