I am planning to install a whirlpool tub in an alcove 44" wide x 65" deep. The alcove has concrete walls and floor.(The alcove is a basement bulkhead fitted with a large skylight) I want a tub with a center drain to permit use of the tub by two people. I am allowing an additional 30" extension of the tub platform into the room. A 6 ft. long tub will be located about 1 foot in from the front of the platform in which it will be set and and about 1 foot from the rear wall. Question: Is this installation possible? Can the drain pipe be attached to the tub prior to setting it in place in order to avoid a difficult plumbing connection? Does the trap have to be located at the tub or can it be located 3-4 ft away from the tub?
