Regardless of pipe size, can a regular elbow be used to transition from a vertical drain to a horizontal drain or is a long sweep elbow required?
In my specific situation: I have a 1.5" drain pipe from a 2nd floor bathroom sink dropping vertically down through the floor. The floor below is finished so I need to trainsition to horizontal using an elbow and run between the floor joists. Space is very tight so a regular elbow will get me the proper slope but the bigger dimensions of a long sweep elbow will drop my run below the 1/4" per foot. I know I can't use a vent elbow but since this is vertical, can I use a regular elbow?
THANKS!
