Yes! And unless you connect to a lavatory drain line you will need to run a vent off the shower. Without a trap you're opening a direct connection between your home and the sewer. This will allow sewer gas to enter your home. Sewer gas is a health hazard to your family and the methane content makes it explosive. Trap the shower! Good luck, TomQuote:

On plumbing, I like to provide different angle.
