I recently remodeled my bathroom and I admit, some of the plumbing was a quick job, to get the bath back up and running after 2 months of being torn apart. (I have a 3 y/o whom doesn't care for showers and wanted her bathtub back!) When the plumbing was done, I had some obstacles to work around, so I did what I could and now am trying to clean it up and make certain it is done correct.
I have tried to label the picture to make things clear. From my understanding what I have is an S trap for the tub. My plan is to get it correct and make it into a P trap. I plan to drop the vertical pipe, running into the P, down several inches to where it is inline (proper slope 1/4" p/f slope) with the 4x4x2 fitting. I illustrated this in the picture with a white line drawing. My question is, can I put a 90* fitting, running horizontal, off of the 4x4x2 or should I turn the 4x4x2 about 45* and have the run go straight in? The horizontal 90* bend would be right where the white * is in the picture. This would keep me from having to cut the pipe leading to the 4x4x2 and rotating it about 45*. Either way is fine, just less work if I can install the horizontal bend....
