I have a single story home on concrete slab in Central FL. To my knowledge we follow IPC here, unless a fellow Floridian can correct me on that. Referring to the attached diagram, I'm trying to add a bathroom and rearrange the laundry room.
#1: Is it allowed for the laundry drain trap arm to make a turn in the wall as shown with the proposed green line, as long as it is within the allowed 60" length? IPC allows a 1/4 bend horizontal-to-horizontal, which I think might be easier to fit into the corner of the 2x4 wall. Or do I have to bust up the slab and move the whole drain/vent to the other wall as shown by the dashed line?
#2: Can I connect the shower drain to that same existing 2" drain for the washer drain? I could keep the existing vent and just move the washer drain arm, regardless of answer to #1. Or is it better to tie that shower into the toilet drain? For various reasons, I believe it would be a bit easier to connect to the washer drain.
Any advice to pass inspection is appreciated. Questions on the toilet layout to follow...
