So if going stright down is not a popular option; then should I just consider the first link of what you said and work on a bend for that?

 

[Madrab]

It depends on the setup. With most arrangements there wouldn't usually be enough space directly below it for that trap as it would be into the floor space in between joists. The waste pipe run would normally run off horizontally with a suitable fall over to where it reaches and connects to the soil stack. Hence the usual shower traps have a horizontal outlet. The shower tray may even need to be raised on a plinth to provide enough space to handle the waste properly.

What/where is your shower to be positioned and what's beneath it? Any pics?

Though TBH is you are needing answers to these basic questions then doing this work may be a little advanced. Not a good idea taking chances with DIY'ing a waste setup, as it could end up as a soggy disaster.

The base of the shower tray touches the floor, so unless its a stright coupler onto the tray that I can bore out a hole into the floor. other than that then I will have to raise the shower tray off of the floor. But the sooner I can get a 90 degree bend to take me down into the floor the better

Will try take some photos tommorow. but the shower tray sits right on the floor with zero gap between the trey and the floor. the floor is wooden decking and part of a mobile trailer

 

[Madrab]

Ah ok, if it's a trailer then it's not so simple. Standard plumbing and mobile vehicles are a difficult mix and need to be well designed and fitted. Mobile vehicles bend and flex all the time and if you are trying to fit and seal a shower tray directly to the structure then that seal can be difficult to maintain. That's one of the reasons they fit shower pods/cabinets as they are all self contained and don't need sealed to the structure.

Is it going to be static? Anything else may not be able to handle standard domestic waste outlet/pipe
