Why side outlets?

Limited vertical space
In some construction situations there may be obstructions or limited space beneath the floor, making a vertical outlet impossible. A side outlet allows for horizontal pipe connections.
Specific plumbing configurations
Side outlets can simplify plumbing layouts in certain applications, especially retrofit projects.
Shallow installations
They are very helpful in shallow installations where a traditional vertical drain would not fit.
