Washer standpipe
Hello,
I am wondering about modifying my washer's standpipe to accomodate more space under the counter. If I maintain the right hieght, and a downward slope, can it have two angles in it as opposed to one L type shape? The total travel distance to the sinks P trap is only a few feet. Current shape: | |____ P trape Proposed shape: | |__ | P trap Thanks for any comments! Louis |

All so-called 90 deg fittings for drainage have the required slope built into the fitting pattern. Jim |
