Hello,
I am in the middle of installing a bathroom in my basement. I have already jackhammered the floor, tapped into my sewer line and ran most of my 3" PVC ( all I have to say is next time I am using a stick of dynomite on the cast iron sewer line.. I am going to sore for a week-That SUCKED)
Anyway off to the left of my branch line I am running a drain pipe that will connect to my trap for the tub. Right in my way is the 2 inch cast iron footer drain pipe. I either have to go over it or underneath it.This will create a steep up-grade pitch either on the trap side (If I go over it) or on the branch line side (if I go under it). The pipe is low enouph yet high enouph to do either. I am at a loss and really dont know what to do here.
With the up-grade pitch is there a chance that the tub would not drain properly? Which way should I go? Could some one give me a professional option? I asked the guy and home depot and after 10 minutes of him rambling it really didnt give me a good answer. Thanks!
John
