I have a question regarding this washing machine drain line. I need to re-route a portion of the PVC drain line that runs along the basement ceiling so that it is running along a wall instead of 3 feet out from the wall. I'm finishing the ceiling and want to avoid having to box in the drain line in the ceiling (would rather box it in adjacent to a wall). So the line would make a right turn (per images) just past the stair case and go an additional 3 feet to the wall. Then run along the wall for 8 feet then a left turn back to the stack for another additional 3 feet. Is there problem with adding another 6 feet (3 foot right turn to go TO the wall and another 3 feet left turn to go BACK to the stack) and 2 more 90 degree turns? There is plenty of vertical room to maintain the 1/4 inch per foot slope.

if it works ok now, then doing whay you propose should be no problem.

Thank you for the feedback. Very much appreciated. It's performed flawlessly since it was installed 7 years ago. I'll use long-sweep elbows for the turns.
