Tub/shower trap installed too far away. OK to pipe to it?

Posted by Lee Irdour on June 22, 19100 at 12:32:50:
My plumber installed the trap for a tub/shower about 30 inches from where I wanted it. He's a friend, so I can't ask him to redo it. But I'm wondering if I can run a 30-inch pipe from where I want the drain to where he put the trap. I'll either put this pipe in trench and/or I'll raise the tub/shower a bit to allow for drainage to the trap. OK or not OK? Thanks! --Lee Irdour
