Morning all
Hope you can give me your opinion on my self-inflicted problem.
In my conversion, due to moving walls slightly - vis-a-vis drawings- my wet-room- type shower-drain hits a joist when positioned centrally.
I can :
1) Leave it off-centre
2) Take up several OSB panels and move joist ( significant work and disruption)
3) Cut out a smaller area of OSB and re-route outflow.
Option 3) is my preferred choice but this involves 3 x 90 degree elbows joined with 2 x 10 cm straight lengths to get back to original pipe run.
It is a 50 mm pipe for a mains-fed shower at approx 3 bar pressure and definitely no pump . Not sure if this is still aroundthe 12 -15 litres/min I have seen discussed for non-pumped showers.
Would you expect this convoluted run to slow outflow so much that I might suffer from water backing up into shower ?
thanks for your time.
