I am doing a complete bath remodel and converting a tub to a tiled shower. I understand this requires a 2" drain instead of the 1.5" that was already there. I'm also a fan of things that don't clog up as often.
My problem is that the 1.5" line enters the top of the soil pipe (in basement with full access) into a 1.5" fitting. I would prefer not to cut into the cast iron stack.
There is a 3" cleanout in the floor directly next to the soil pipe.
Is there a problem using this cleanout for the drain? I figured I would thread in a 3" pvc adapter, attach a 3"-2" sanitary wye, a new cleanout on top, and vertical 2" pipe to near the ceiling. The horizontal run would be about 12' from the shower drain trap with a single 45 degree bend along the way.
Thanks for any advice.
