Hi.
I'm renovating our second floor bathroom, which also houses our washer and dryer. One of the improvements I'd like to make is installing a floor drain to prevent catastrophe in the event the washer fails and dumps water all over the floor.
Given that the intent is that this drain won't be used, I'd like to install a trap primer to keep the trap sealed.
The joists are 2x10 (so 9" of actual depth) and the subfloor is 1 1/8". So, I've safely got about 9 1/2" of height for the install of a KERDI-DRAIN, 2"-1 1/2" reducer and trap. Plus, I need to get the trap primer line in there.
To do that, I found this - https://www.pppinc.net/products/acc...ompression/precision-priming-adapter-pvc.html
But, it adds significant height to the assembly, even if I cut it down.
What are some of the other methods for getting the trap primer line plumbed to the trap? Can you drill and tap a hole somewhere in the assembly and add a fitting? Or is the use of some kind of adapter like the one I linked to required?
Thanks.
