As part of my basement remodel I'm moving the kitchen drain to use a new roughin in the basement. It currently runs 20 feet across the ceiling turns and then 15 more feet to a 3inch stack. Removing this to clean up the ceiling.
I'm going to turn it immediately when it enters the basement to run along the foundation wall for 10 feet and then down into a new roughin drain. All this is 2 inch.
Question is, is it preferable to follow the ceiling for the first 10 feet and then straight down to the drain or slope it down to the drain at an angle? The drain at the floor will be about a foot from the wall due to the foundation so there will be a couple of 45 turns where it enters the slab.
If I follow the ceiling, I can hang the pipe from joists but will involve an additional 90 turn. Sloping along the wall I have to attach to the wall but would only use 45 turns.
Thanks
