Picture shows a regular ptrap and what I want to do.

As shown in the picture. Can I make a ptrap and extend the U part. 90 out of shower strainer 6 inches of pipe, 90 up, then 90 horizontal. Im putting in a Saniflo system and I cant raise the shower platform anymore.

You're just a trouble maker aren't you. What does hj think on this? It seems I tried something like that back in ancient times, but don't know how well it worked either.
So yesterday a customer showed me a crawl space access that was 14.5" by 10" and said I should fit. I grabbed a sawzall and made it much much larger than that.

Why the 6" of pipe between the elbows? a long, long time ago, there was a leak in a multistory pipe chase. I had to squeeze through a 16"x16", access panel and was able to.

Heck, a long long time ago I was able to fit through a bad mitten racket without the strings. I was maybe 10 at the time.

Did you have wrench in your hand? And some racket frames are pretty large

Shower base was built up 5.5 inches for the saniflo toilet. No ptrap would fit. Not even 1.5 inch one. base couldnt be raise anymore
