I am installing a new trap under my bathtub, using 2" PVC. The vent is in the valve wall for the tub, next to the waste and overflow. In order to get the required 4" minimum length trap arm, I have to angle the J-bend away from the san-tee, then set the outlet and trap arm at an angle, so the trap sort of doubles back on itself.
If you think of the two pieces of a regular P-trap being at 180 degrees (i.e. in a straight line), the J-bend and the trap arm in this case are at about a 90 degree angle to each other, or maybe a little less.
Is this code? I can't find any reference to this situation in any of my sources.
If it is code, is it significantly more prone to clogging? The trap is in an accessible crawl space, so I'm inclined to use a P-Trap with a nut, for easier cleaning.
Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
