Trying to finish up the bathroom remodel. I need to put in the P-trap from my shower pan. I have access to the plumbing from the basement (open ceiling). I've got 2 questions:
1. I'm wondering if I can do the P-trap like in the photo's I've attached. In the 3rd photo of course the P-trap won't hang down at that angle but will be at least 1/4" per ft. slope to where it will connect to the drain line.
The reason for the 90 deg. Fernco instead of a long sweep or regular sweep 90 is because the long sweep won't fit. With the regular sweep 90 when you attach the p-trap the top fitting that comes out of the p-trap hits the bottom of the joist ( not enough room to run 2" line to the drain.
The p-trap is connected back to the drain of the shower pan with a Fernco (yellow) supplied by the pan manufacturer (Schluter), I put in a linear drain in the shower pan.
I then have a 90 deg Fernco ( blue) with a 22 deg fitting (blue) attached to it.
Then here is the p-trap. Of course it will be sloped appropriately.
2. Where is the best place to install 3" Fernco, green area or red area. I'm thinking the green area. I need to add a 3" Fernco to this line because I need to "turn down" the wye to attach the drain from the shower pan. I didn't install it like this, the plumber I used installed it like this with the wye facing the ceiling. I know I should have him come back but don't want to hassle with it and want to get done.
