Hey all,
A few months back I posted about my shower drain rerouting. Essentially I needed to get a drain into the middle of a 5x6 walk in shower but needed to sort out venting. You suggested running it to the wall and then back towards the drain. This method was accepted and the attached was mocked up.
Forgive the pile of 22.5 deg bends on the vent that was me just seeing what it would take to get it vertical.
Seems OK but I have two concerns;
1. Putting a level on the slope of the drain on both of the two runs is more than 1/2 " per foot. Does aggressive slope cause any issues? I don't think this slope is going to siphon the p-trap so im not too worried about that?
2. The vent isn't running horizontal below the slab, but its not vertical either. If I had to guess the piece of vent pipe before reaching the wall its running at about 30 degrees.
Any comments would be appreciated here to save me time with the plumber as I am trying to do all the digging / hammering so that I don't waste his time doing excavation or demo. None of this is glued or secured.
The overview pic attached should help explain - there are some other ones of different viewpoints I uploaded also.
You guys are amazing and I really appreciate the fact people take the time to look at posts and comment.
