I want to replace the bath with a walk-in shower in my Condo. This will re-use the drain as a floor drain for the shower.
The existing piping in 1 1/2" and I cannot change that as that would require touching the central drain and my downstairs neighbors ceiling, and the board will not allow that.
In Arlington County, Virginia the IPC 2000 has to be followed. This states that the shower waste outlet has to be 2" (417.3). However, code 709.1 says that I can use a 1 1/2" trap with a shower.
Would it be code compliant to use a 2" shower drain connected to a 1 1/2" trap and drain pipe?
Anyone know or had this problem?
