I've searched for, and read through a number of threads regarding using a Fernco flexible fitting under a tub, but found nothing that matches what I want to do.
The layout:
- Top floor 5' x 7' bathroom
- ABS DWV pipes.
- Current horizontal drain line with cleanout sits half way proud of subfloor.
- I'm replacing the subfloor with 3/4" T&G plywood (from 5/8") old flooring is now out, so I have full access to P trap and plumbing (see pic).
The tub:
- American Standard Princeton 30-in W x 60-in L White Porcelain Enameled Steel Oval In Rectangle Right-Hand Drain Alcove (2391202ICH.020)
- integrated overflow
- Below floor rough-in
Since I only need one drain pipe to lead to the p-trap assembly (i.e., no sanitary tee) can I use a Fernco flexible elbow to join the drain pipe to the p-trap drain line? Access to the head side of the tub is limited by framing that will eventually have the plumbing in it. If I absolutely must, I can go through the drywall behind that plumbing wall, but I'd like to avoid doing that.
