Alright guys, got an interesting one for you. I am building out a new bathroom and want to make sure I have my drainage lined up to snuff before the rough in. I have a 3 inch drain line running 8 ft to the stack with a 1.5 inch sink and 2in shower dumping into the 3 inch drain along the way. The kicker is that I had to drop the 3 inch pipe below the joists to avoid cutting through them and will hide it with a chase. That means in order to drain the shower after the P-trap, I'll need a long sweep 90, 2-3 foot drop to get below the floor and joist, then 45 over a vent, then another 45 to a vertical drop into a long sweep 90 into the 3 inch drain line. Will that drain properly? I understand it's a lot of turns but options are limited here. The shower would follow a similar path, just not as large of an initial drop. Any and all advice from those more experienced than myself are welcome! Thanks, guys.
