Hello,
Has anyone seen a drain configuration like this ? I have a PVC toilet flange that goes into a 90 degree PVC elbow. The strange thing is, I then have a 1.5 inch PVC bathtub/shower drain pipe connecting directly into the 90 degree elbow (for the toilet) via a female fitting in the side of the 90 degree elbow.
My concern is whether this is "up to code" or should I remove this setup in favor of another configuration. Our house is approx 17 years old. It's worked for the last 17 years, so I probably shouldn't worry, but a failed wax ring forced me to rip the subfloor off and while I'm at it I might as well do the job correctly. (the bathtub has it's own trap underneath the bathtub drain so rising gas isn't a concern... just toilet solids potentially clogging this Toilet/bathtub elbow connection.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
