Greetings all, I have a quick question about rough-in of tub drain.
Current set-up (by plumber) has tub and lavatory 1-1/2" drains connecting in a wye. What has me nervous is that the tub drain does a horizontal 90 before going into the wye. Presumably the trap will go in at the head of the 90 when the tub is installed. Since the head of the 90 is pointing parallel to the tub (if you see what I mean), I guess there will be more turning involved in or around the trap.
Since I had to cut out that 90 anyway to replace a joist (carpenter screwed up), I am wondering if it would be advisable to beef that 90 up to a 2" drain line, then a reducer to 1-1/2" after the 90 and before the wye? The tub drain goes straight into the wye, lavatory drain comes in at an angle.
Thanks for any help.....
