Just a quick question here. I'm renovating my bathroom, my floor is ripped up and I've found I have to replace the existing drain for the toilet and lav. I figured I'd ask about the tub as well since it's easy to access now.
They have 1 1/2 pipe for the tub, but directly under where the trap would normally have been, there's a joist in the way. They have about 7" of 1 1/2" ABS connecting the tub overflow to the trap. I'm guessing they did this because they did not want to cut the joist. I'm wondering if this is allowed, or will I end up having to tear it out and redo that as well?
