What else can I help you with?
Can you use the existing shower drain for a pedestal sink and do you need a trap for the sink since there is already a trap in the floor?
No and yes. Amendment (not from a professional plumber!): If you were simply running the sink drain into the shower drain and if there was not a reduction in pipe size, I would think you would be able to do that. I think the reason you need a trap for the sink has to do with code that requires a trap be no more than 24" from the basin to the trap arm. That being said, the pedestal sink in my house does not have a trap until after it drains below the floor.

If you have an existing shower with a 2" line 'stubbed out of cement', it more than likely has a P-trap underground. An easy way to tell is to get a flashlight and look down the pipe; if you can see water standing in the pipe, there is a p-trap. No water, no trap. Double trapping a fixture is not recommended.
