Plumbing drain question

Hi Gang,
I want to install a sink. The nearest pipe I can plug into is19 feet
away. The drain will be as follows:
18" drop from sink bottom to bottom of crawl space joists,
Run along bottom of joists for 19',
Rise 5" and plug into existing drain pipe within joists.
Thus, I will have no slope, but a 13" head. Will it work?
Thanks, Gary
I'm no drain mavin, but if I were doing the job for myself I'd put in a
tee and threaded plug under the sink and try and create the two 90
degree bends down in the crawl space with a couple of 45 degree elbows each.
That to make it easier to run a snake through the line if that long
horizontal run ever gets glogged with hair or something else over time.
