Pipe length maximum
Is there a maximum pipe length between the base of a bathroom sink to the p-trap? I have found one with a 21" length. Looks odd to me. Thanks in advance.

Re: Pipe length maximum
The vertical distance between the fixture and the trap should be less than 24 inches. This helps prevent stuff from building enough force to blow out the trap's water seal.
