5' wide x 8' long bathroom, slab on grade, the tub goes against the back wall, see photos.
Left side and across the back of the tub(60" side) are concrete block exterior walls, no access. On the right side, I can access through a bedroom enough to reach in to the drain assembly
I need to stand the tub on end to get it into the bathroom, with the drywall removed the room is 60.5", while the tub specs say 60". the crate has to be removed to get it through the doors.
The trap doesn't line up so I was going to replace it, but there is limited access and the end of the PVC drain is covered in tar pitch. See photos
The install specs say do not use a ledger, the tub has feet that is rests on.
1 How can I lower it down in this tight space?
2 If we do manage to get it lowered, how does one slide a 330 lb tub on metal feet across tile and concrete?
3 Is replacing the drain assembly with brass a good idea, is is possible in this situation? or stay with PVC
4 Anyway to clean tar pitch off PVC drain pipe?
Guess that's it for now, any help will be appreciated
