This is because the p trap under a shower isn t accessible. Typically these traps lie beneath the floor but if you re installing shower on a cement slab such as in a basement the trap is above the cement slab.

A standpipe extends from the outlet box to the trap below. The trap arm that connects horizontally from the vent pipe to the p trap must have a slope of 1 4 inch per foot sloping up toward the drain. The lack of a p trap exposes the area to sewer fumes and the lack of venting will cause the drain to run sluggishly and overflow.

Make sure you cut an even 12 by 12 square piece and that you only cut the portion that runs over the floor boards. When a tub is designed for an above floor drain connection there is space under the tub to run the drain pipes above the floor.

Grease traps can be located above ground below ground inside the kitchen or outside the building. They must always be installed so that there is easy access to the cover for removal and cleaning. There is also about 4 clearance behind drawer. It is recommended to clean the grease trap when a grease level of 2 3 is obtained.
