Installing a shower drain in an unfinished basement
I am installing a shower in an unfinished basement. The builder roughed in a lavatory drain line and a sink drain line, but did not rough in a shower line. I knew generally where the main line ran, so I broke the concrete out from shower drain to the main line. The problem is that the main line ran right under the concrete, about 4 inches below the floor. My understanding is that any tee I install has to be vertical. But, there is no room to install a vertical tee and have enough drop from the main line to the shower drain. Is it possible to install a shower drain in this situtation? What do I have to do? Do I have to elevate the shower? Is it permissible to install a horizontal tee? Thanks for your 2 cents.
