I'm replacing some galvanized pipes with PVC and I need to figure out the best layout for the turns.
A 1 1/2" galvanized pipe is coming out of a tub-shower and goes horizontally about 3 feet with a small (1/8) bend to the left, it then makes an 1/8 bend to the right and then a 90 degree turn to the right.
It is then connected with a vertical 1 1/2 inch sink drain and continues horizontally about 3 feet to the main vertical stack.
Due to space issues I cannot replace the entire galvanized pipe with PVC, so I have to cut the galvanized pipe either right after the shower-tub where it is straight, or in the first 1/8 bend to the left.
I would then replace that part until after the connection with the vertical sink drain.
Can I use a 90 degree bend, or would that create problems?
A picture is attached to make the situation a bit more clear.
Thank you!
