We are installing a free standing tub. The overflow is in a cavity of the tub behind an access panel. The angle of the wall of the tub causes the overflow to not be vertical. This causes the trap arm to slope upwards. See the attached diagram. I see a couple options:
1. Place a couple 22.5 degree (or 11.25 degree) elbows right after the trap to get the proper angle. The red circle is where I think the elbows should be added.
2. Place the elbows in the overflow pipe to get the angle correct. Green circle in the diagram.
The tub is in Michigan. Either option seems to be code compliant, but is there a preferred method, or a completely different option that is better? Thanks.
