I'm putting in a new shower and there is a challenge with where it needs to go. As you can see from the picture the drain comes down right above the foundation wall. The horizontal laser level line is set to the bottom of the sanitary T and the vertical line is set where the drain needs to be.
The arrow points to a drywall screw I've put through the sub-floor to mark the location of the drain. If I put the P Trap directly below the drain the only way out of the bay is to drill a 2 1/4" hole through the joist. And, I still have the problem of getting the proper slope to the sanitary T.
If the P Trap is out of the bay I would have to use a couple of 45 degree bends to make it work. But getting to the drain stack is straight forward. (Oh, and I have a 1 1/2" vent that will be about 14" from the trap regardless of which path is used.)
This space is an unfinished, heated, storage room. Is there a code issue with putting a 2 45 degree bends before the P Trap? This would be my preferred way to go if possible.
