Hi,
I have some questions and would appreciate some help before I embark on a new project.
I have an upstairs bedroom and plan on inproving my en-suite bathroom by adding a tub and expanding the layout.
Questions
1. I plan on teeing into the existing shower hot and cold feed lines and run these to the tub faucet. Is this OK? The drywall is all off and the water lines are accessible.
2. I plan on taking the bath drain and teeing it into the shower drain making sure it slopes 1/4 of an inch per foot. Is this OK and if so do I need a special tee? The shower drain has a 90 degree swept fitting. There is a vent for the shower. Do I need to tee into this also?
3. The floor is particle board so I would like to replace with 3/4 ply to give better support. The bath would be against an outside wall so I don't think the joists need re enforcement?
Apologies for my naivety and thanks in advance!
