I am working on remodeling my basement and have many issues to contend with. The first is the trap for my tub drain on the first floor is well below the floor joists and I would like to raise it up to be able to have a relatively normal ceiling height in the basement. I have been reading that the distance of the 2" drain after the trap to the vent has to be five feet or less. My question is can a trap be anywhere in the drain line or does it have to be a certain distance from the tub and then the vent has to be 5' feet froim the trap. Can someone please clarify.
Thanks in advance
