I have been lurking for a while and have learned a whole lot more than I thought already knew! I have a drain line question - long story short - we had a problem with a toilet seal and it basically leaked and rotted out the sub floor of the upstairs bathroom. i have removed the ceiling drywall and the sub floor and everything is nice and dry and rot free. In the process of the fix, we decided to gut the bathroom, "upgrade" the tub, toilet and vanity as well as add modern tile - all of that caused some drain pipe to move.
As you can see from the pics, (taken from below) I added a 1.5" long sweep san tee to pick up the faucet and tub to then hook into the 2 inch that then wye's into the 3" where it picks up the toilet on its way out. While the tub is not installed yet, I tested the sink drain and it flows well, except for a small amount doesn't make the turn all the way, it heads towards the "future" tub - not much, maybe about a cup or 2 per 2 liters that drains... It doesn't stay there and makes its way down after a few seconds. In fact, I shoved about 1 foot of 1.5" coming out of the T towards the future tub and I think I had about a drop or two make it that far. It appears the fall is good - my question - in hindsight I probably should have used a Wye coming out of the sink (I think I would need a 22.5 to come of the 90 elbow then into the wye) but nonetheless, will this work or should I rip it all out? I also had to shake my head as to why the builder went "upstream" with the sink waste line to only "U" it back into the 3" that leaves the bathroom. Comments welcome!
thanks!
