Unless you have a very good reason for piping it that way, why risk having the inspector flag it as a violation and you end up having to change it -very expensive after the fact.

To the OP:I've been a plumber for 30 years. Yes, what you've shown is an acceptable and common practice. Sometimes referred to as "line venting". As long as the vent stays vertical (45 degrees or more) until it is roughly 40" or so above the floor slab, at which point the vent can turn horizontally. I prefer to use a sweep elbow up, then a sanitary tee for the fixture branch, and carry the vent up off the top of the san tee, but when there is an elevation constrain preventing you to do that, I run it like you've shown.
