Hi, I'm new to the forum and any help is really appreciated!
I knocked out a wall on the ground floor of my house and within this wall was a 3" drain pipe coming from a bathroom directly above (see attached image). I'd like to move this pipe to the left about 4ft so that it will be close to the wall where it can then be boxed in with framing and sheetrock.
My thought on how to move this pipe was to start with a long sweep 90 at the top, then add a straight section that's about 4ft, then add a medium sweep 90 going from horizontal to vertical, then add the vertical section, then do the same thing in reverse under the floor in the crawlspace.
Is this an acceptable approach? I'm confused about how to slope the 4ft horizontal sections at the required 1/4" per ft. Just adding the 90s as described above would leave the horizontal sections flat. Is there some type of fitting I can use to add the slope? If I push on the top to pitch the pipe then that will put stress on the pipe and make the long vertical section not straight which doesnt seem right to me. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
