P-trap height: what's the real deal? 🤔
Is this bathtub drain setup correctly? 🤔 Got this setup on a cabin in rural Central Texas, and I'm curious if this drain system is installed to code, all 1.5" PVC.
It's got a main bathtub drain, an overflow drain that isn't glued in, going into a P-trap, and then a vent stack going up. The pipe going down connects to the main sewer line.
The areas circled in blue are what I'm worried about. Specifically, is the P-trap at the right height, maybe lower than the tub drain, to function properly?
Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Thanks 🙏🔧
