In my experience I've seen this type of scenario in older buildings. Usually the sink will tie into the stack in the wall while the shower generaly connects in below the toilet also known as the closet bend. In alot of older houses and apartment complexs they have tied multiple drains together in a smaller pipe before going to a larger one. For example the lav with the tub, the kitchen sink with a tub, or all three together.

∙ 16y agoYes but you will need a 4" pipe (3" in some codes) to pick up the waste line for example=Shower 2" line then a 2" x 11/2" tee for the basin and then 4" for the toilet waste==You cannot decrease a waste line=
