Hello all,
We are having our basement finished and are adding a bathroom. When creating the new plumbing, our contractor appears to be adding an elbow to horizontally turn the flow of the upstairs wastewater 90 degrees just ~2 ft. beyond where it enters the slab and around where the toilet plumbing will go. The vertical pipe not connected to anything at the left will carry all waste water from the upstairs bathrooms to the sewer main that runs under the slab. Is this turn in the main pipe acceptable or am I risking clogs? Or should I ask them to make this 90 a 45 and connect the further down the line?
Thank you!
