Hi all,
I am in process of installing a new alcove tub and have torn the old one out that was elevated off the bathroom floor 1.5" by 2x4's. I would like to drop the new tub back down to the plywood and have a few questions. (For perspective, I am a relative newb to plumbing but have done some PVC welding and can sweat copper pipe and have installed shower valves, etc.). All images are from the old tub plumbing.
1) Is that P-trap, (which I believe to be from original 1986 build), acceptable?
2) I would like to cut the plumbing at the joint in the photo and use a ram-bit to ream the joint out and accept a new riser. That will put my new riser off center to the center line of the tub (see top view photo of tub). This will force my drain and the overflow to come in at an angle, is that acceptable plumbing practice?
Thanks,
Scott
