So, I just installed a new floating vanity in our bathroom and it has limited space and pre-existing drain pipes. Would this be considered an S Trap and therefore illegal and not to code? We are listing out house for sale and I want to get it fixed before we sell it. This is a double vanity so I'll have to do this twice. This was the easiest way to hook into the existing drain because of the increased number of joints allows for many more axis of rotation and positioning.
As you can see, there's already a 45 coming out of the wall and I would have to go into the wall to cut it out before the 45. There's maybe 5/8" pvc between the 45 and the threaded coupling for the trap to connect to. If I carefully cut off the threaded adapter is the 5/8" enough PVC to glue on new fittings to make a P Trap lineup? Also, I'd like to NOT cut out the bottom of the cabinet and have the p trap extend below it for asthetic reasons. Is it against code if I use some 90 degree elbows to raise the drain pipe a lot higher and keep my P trap as high as possible (meaning that the tail piece coming out of my sink would be very short). If I tried to connect my trap to the current height of the existing drain pipe, I would have to cut into the base of my cabinet for sure.
Thanks for any expertise on this subject. The good thing is that I didn't glue my vanity top on yet or silicone the top edge, so worse comes to worse, I can take the vanity down and get into the wall.
