Is there such thing as too many bends for a bathroom sink drain line? I am having to get pretty creative to run the drain pipe I want and have ended up with five bends?? Too many??? :confused: They are all vertical bends except for one.:rolleyes:

elbows

As long as the drain never plugs up, 5 elbows is okay. Once it does, however, the plumber is going to curse you and your ancestors when his snake/cable tries to go around them.

The more turn you have the harder it is to snake. Drain cables are less affective the more turns and the greater the distance.
