Plumbing – How to make the P-Trap sloped

drainp-trapplumbing-fixture

I am remodeling my kitchen, and am completely redoing the drain system because I have to move it over. I am looking online, and it seems that the part after the P trap to the vertical part of the drain pipe needs to be slanted. How do you make it slanted when the parts I see only make it straight.

Does it need to be slanted?

Thanks for any feedback!

Most of them are 89 degree bends (not 90 degrees) so they have about 1 degree of slope which is all that is needed.

most diagrams exaggerate the slope so that the reader can see it, and so that the picture will fit on the page.
