I'm thinking of adding an upstairs bath above a rather ornate living room ceiling that I'd rather not cut into. Is it OK to raise the level of the upstairs fiberglass shower pan (maybe 6 inches) and then have the drain line from the shower pan run horizontally at a minimum slope for maybe 3 feet before adding a trap? The idea is to not cut into the existing upstairs floor deck until the shower drain line runs over an area of attic that I don't mind cutting into. I'd have access to check the trap there via a clean-out cap instead of right at the shower drain.
