wolflet 1 Report post Posted June 11, 2010 im unable to take photos for now. my place is basically no entry until the flooring is done. but i spoke to my ID. the secondary floor trap is called ping pong cover or something. talk to the contractors and they should know about it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warrior88 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 Ping pong cover ? sure looks like paddlers bat. This is not through hole trap, it simply channel water to the main trap. Which means you need at least 1 inch of drain pipe gradient (slope) for water to flow. Not forgeting the ping pong cover height. So, that a lot of height to raise Check the main trap if there is enough depth. Pipe cannot go below the water proof membrance also. By the way, mine was done since I hack the whole floor. Don't forget to request for stainless steel cover. They will look nice with your stainless steel toilet accessories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
