I am building a bathroom and would like to tuck a bathtub drain into the joist bay to gain some space. Currently the p trap from the bathtub runs into a sanitary tee vertically positioned with a vent at the top inlet and another sanitary tee ( possibly a y ) connected at right angles so that there is a clean out on one side and then the other inlet heads down toward the stack - about 7 feet away. The p trap is probably 1.5 inch and the tees and drain are 2 inch cast iron. The drain water turns in the vertical plane in this case.
I want to replace this with a sanitary tee and y positioned in such a way that the drain from the p trap turns in the horizontal plane. I would use a y tee with a 45 degree connector to make a gradual sweep and then head off toward the stack at the proper slope. One inlet of the sanitary tee would be connected to the clean out, the middle inlet to the vent and the final inlet to the y connector.
I have included pictures to show this, because, as you can tell, it is hard to explain. The first set shows the existing set up and the last set shows approximately how the new fixtures would be arranged.
Will this work?
