I'm currently in the process of a complete bathroom remodel, and have run into an issue I'm hoping you folks can help me with.
The existing drain stack is CI, and the drain lines from the bathroom lavs to the stack are lead. Since the wall is open, and I wanted to have a nice clean wall stub for the new pedestal lav, I removed the old lead pipe (it's a wonder the sink drained at all, given all the crud inside!).
So now I've created an interested situation for myself. The CI fitting is rotated slightly so that any PVC inserted will not run parallel to the wall surface, but would instead shoot out into the room within a few inches. The old lead, of course, had been formed as needed. A 22.5 degree fitting would shoot the pipe back too far the other way, and it appears the hard-to-find 11.25 degree fittings aren't available in 1.5 inch sizes.
I've seen mention of bending PVC pipe to shape, but it sounds like it's not typically allowed by code.
Anyone have any ideas?
