    Shower Drain Trap
    I needed to move my shower drain 2 inches and had to remove the existing 2" PVC. I put together this setup but, being a novice I wasn't 100% comfortable gluing it together. I was looking for expert advice to validate this design. The current drain inlet is where it needs to be located. I'm not working with much space. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/E_...o=w338-h600-no

    Photos didn't post. Try again...

    Is that trap plastic or rigid pipe ?

    Back to you

    Milo,

    The pipes are 2" PVC pipes, and ultimately connect to a copper line. Hopefully the pictures show up this time!Attachment 47986Attachment 47987 I know this trap is unconventional to say the least, but I was curious if I could get by with this "design" (and I use the word design loosely!)

    Thanks,
    John

    "Attachment is no longer available"... Anyway, if the difference between old and new location is only 2" than use one Street 45 and one regular 45 - both installed on top of each other and on vertical pipe between drain head and trap. That should do.

    Hope that explains

    Milo
