New shower stall drain problem
I am remodeling a bathroom and removed the tub to make a shower stall. I made the stall using the Shulter system which worked good. The drain is 2", the old connections are all 11/2". So I had to connect it that way. Now that the drain is hooked up and not leaking, water stays in the pipes to about 3" below the top of the drain. I tried making the trap lower, but to no avail. The trap is located before the drain makes a 90 into the floor joists then runs to the main stack. I do not know how to get the waste water to drain from the main line and only leave water at the trap.
