Shower P-trap question

Hi,

Should the 2 pieces of the shower p trap be in the same plan ? In order to align the p trap with the 2" drain pipe I will need a 135 angle between them. I'd like if possible to avoid one of those short 90 ABS ells.

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank,
I don't understand,"Should the 2 pieces of the shower p trap be in the same plan ?" What plan?? Do you mean plain? And are you referring to a 135 degree angle?
Also what ABS Ells? I don't see any in the picture you provided. Your question doesn't jive with the picture. please explain with more details? Thanks Tom

Hi Tom,

I replaced the picture in the previous post. With yellow line is how the old p trap was attached to the drain pipe using a 90 elbow.

With red is how I want to connect the new 2" p trap drain to the new 2" drain pipe. The upper part of the p trap is not alligned with the lower piece - the "U" shaped one-, instead is twisted a bit - there is a 135 angle between the two- Then I am using a 45 connector to attach everything to the drain pipe.

Which option would you recommend ?

Thanks,

Frank

I'm still having a problem. What's twisted? looks connected to me. Do you mean the sharp turn between the"U" shaped piece,( J Bend) and the drain?
What option do I recomen? I only see one option in the picture. What am I missing here? If the trap lines up with the shower drain then I can find no fault with the set up. regards, tom
