I need to install some blocking in our living room wall between studs to support a very specific AV setup. There is a 3" ABS drain pipe in the way, which is touching the back of the drywall and cannot be bent/moved out of the way manually. In fact at present the drywall pushes the current pipe slightly as-is. The drain pipe drains an upstairs toilet and bathroom sink.
I'm proposing to slightly offset a section the pipe using 45° elbows and a new straight section to move it back 2" where the intersection occurs. Before and after diagrams attached. I don't need advice on how to mount a TV.
Is this a bad idea? Will it pose problems for clogs, or is a 3" drain with slight 45° jogs OK for this?
Thanks!
