hi FJK
just for the record, i'll say I probably spoke too casually in my post far far above where i named DIY folk instead of speaking more precisely; (then again, it maight not have helped to name all the other categories like handymen etc. )
As you and I just corresponded on another thread, about two traps in series (not doing it) and about (not) reducing drain pipe size in the middle of a run, I'll add here now for the record that I don't intend to represent code or the enforcers, and i do agree with the point of view that says that a few of the articles in the code are more like best practices standardized rather than true safety issues. It is hard to discuss these ones in public. We need an open discussion forum for that. That is why I came here.
No-one will give a blessing to a 1.5" pipe for a shower, but some will discuss the factors that make it work as drains are expected to work. Slopes, venting, distances, etc.
