I really need your help
I converted a tub/shower combination to a shower-only on the second story; I'm ready to do the floor. Here are my questions:
I have an existing 1 ½" ABS drain, which I traced to where it goes into the sole plate on the 1st story. It seems impossible to convert this to 2†b/c it appears that it remains 1 ½ as it goes into the slab. I understand that 2†is required by code. It will not be inspected, however. Am I going to experience any drainage problems b/c my drain will remain 1 ½"?
If it’s possible to leave the drain at 1 ½, my second questions is this:
Should I use a 2†trap or 1 ½†like the original configuration? Naturally whatever size trap I use it will be connected to the 1 ½†pipe
thanking you in advance
