2. The minimum radius for the first 90 bend or elbow downstream
from a water closet shall be 2−1/2 for drain piping 3 in
diameter.
3. The minimum radius for the first 90 bend or elbow downstream
I doubt that is "the first" "90 degree fitting" (and that, to me, is even stretching the use of the phrase '90 degree fitting) "downstream from a trap" (that exception only applies to the first fitting after the trap) "serving a lavatory or sink" (what does that serve? a lavatory or a sink?).
