As I stated in my other thread I'm replacing my shower receptor and have ordered a new one that has the drain offset from it's current location. I'm not new to working with pvc but only in non-critical applications and don't want to mess up my new drain. My questions are thus:
1) Is there any way to dimantle a pvc joint other than hacksawing it apart?
2) What pitfalls should I lookout for if I have to hacksaw the P-trap off and extend the old pipe?
This seems pretty straight forward to me, hack off the old p-trap, put an extension on the old pipe, put a new p-trap on and away I go. I already know how to clean the pipe and dress the pipe with the purple cement stuff. The part that scares me is that I think it's so easy I might miss something. Can someone tell me if i've got it right or let me know what else I need to consider.
Thanks for the help.
