Hello. I removed an old 32" tub. The wall behind it were right against masonry so I insulated that and settled on putting back in a 30" tub. I was hoping I could get away w a Kohler ClearFlo Brass tub drain and just use the flexible neck to get what I needed. Sadly everything has had to shift so much it doesn't look like it will cover the distance. If there's a solution to this I'm all ears but I'm thinking I've got to cut the cast iron pipe the brass trap is connected to. It's a really scaled up pipe so I'm a bit nervous, that's why I was hoping to get away without cutting it. I've attached pics. Should this be as simple as cut out the length I need to lose and use a shielded Fernco for cast iron to brass. Put a new brass p trap in and go from there? I dread possibly messing up that cast iron pipe and being totally boned. I'm assuming I'll have to use silicone between the Fernco and cast iron cause it's so uneven all over.
And yes that's a baseboard heating line that you see in the one picture that literally runs between the drain and the tub itself.
