I'm interested in replacing the drum trap on my bathtub with a PVC trap. Was there a point in drum traps? I replaced one at my last house as well because it was all corroded and closed up.
Anyway, take a look at the pictures. The tub drain comes down, elbows, and then goes into a brass "tee" with threads on each side. The one coming down just looks like it's got a piece of brass pipe shoved in there and sealed. It just doesn't look right.
Shouldn't some type of fitting come off the bottom of the tee, transition to pvc, and then continue on to the trap?
