I have a extra outlet from the washer drain pipe, witch I would like to drain my shower into. My problem is that the drain pipe is off the floor about 10 inches, so I can't get a proper pitch on the pvc to drain. Is this possible to do? The law of gravity is against me.
Thanks,
grmahappy

grmahappy - What kind of floor is your house on, concrete slab or a conv. Floor,? Need to know this. Then I may be able to give you a answer. :::: F.B.E.

Where does that washer drain tie into the main drain? You might be able to tie to the main. Wosrt case scenarion you could rig an ejector pump to lift the water, it really does like to run up hill much at all.
