Trap plumbing

[SteveD]

Hello,

We're remodeling our bathroom and need to replace an old drum trap. There are obstructions that are making it a little more difficult than expected. Would plumbing the trap like the picture be acceptable?

We live in Ohio, USA if that helps.

Thank you in advance,
Steve

That is considered a running trap and is prohibited

Do not even consider plumbing it like the picture. You have a lot more digging to do.

Thank you for your help. After a little work, we have a proper drain and it doesn't even leak.

Nice, but never screw metal and plastic pipes together. Always use a mission band type coupling. The materials expand and contract differently and can result in failure down the road. Looks good though.
