Bathroom Reno - P-trap Question

[jmg1213]

I am renovating a bathroom with the sink drain in the floor. The old sink used a S-trap. I know the shorfalls of using a S-trap and was hoping to replace with a P-trap. It seems that all P-traps are made for the drain connection being on the wall. Do I need to use a S-trap with a floor drain or is there a way to pipe a P-trap to the floor?

I think you want an S.

There are actually 2 "shortfalls" of an S trap. 1. They don't work. 2. They are not to code.

Here is how I installed the new drain pipe.

The reason the I ran the pipe like this is so that the plumbing fit within the shelf cutout.

Your work is sooo neat!

Are you in the States? Don't think I've seen those "lavatory" type shut-off valves before!? Very cool (looking)!

Yes, I am in the U.S., specifically in WV. My house was built in 1868 and from what we have been able to find, indoor plumbing was added some time around 1920. As I renovate things, I am trying to maintain it as close to that time period as possible.
