How to run the drain pipes? Is 90 degree OK?
I'm in the process of replacing some galvanized pipe with PVC, but I'm unsure of the best way to run the drain.
A shower drain of 1 1/2" galvanized pipe runs with a couple of smaller 1/8 bends and then makes a 90 degree bend before a vertical sink drain of 1 1/4" pipe is connected to this line , which then runs about 4 feet before it connects to the main stack.
I have replaced the 1 1/4" sink drain with a 1 1/2" PVC and I now need to connect the shower drain and the vertical sink drain.
Is it OK to "remove" the 1/8 bends and just run a straight 1 1/2" PVC then make it turn 90 degrees as the sink drain is connected?
Not sure if a 90 degree turn is too much because the sink drain is in the same spot. The drain is horizontal with a slope of probably 1/4" per foot.
A drawing is attached.
By the way, I cannot replace all of the galvanized pipe due to space issues.
Thanks!
