I found several 3 1/2 inch bushing manufacturers

There are a number of suppliers, I got one as shown in the photos (I Hope)

Is a 3 1/2 inch bushing thread not the same as the thread as the cleanout plug thread?

FWIW, last year we installed a Kohler non skid tub. As most owners seem to note, it had gotten kind of grimey looking. Seeing some suggestions I tired this and it worked well. Got the surface wet and lightly scrubbed in a good dose of Bar Keepers Friend. Apparently there is some concern but...

There are a number of manufacturers who make 3 1/2" x 3" pipe thread hex bushings, both malleable iron and galvanized.

Originally posted in remodel section, I got a suggestion to post here.

I am a new guy here so I am not sure if this is the correct section but I'll give it a shot. I have an older house and we want to add a small powder room. Small sink and toilet only. The dimensions we have to work with are about 65" by 38" which seems to be Okay given what we are trying to...

Thanks, can it be moved or do I need to copy and repaste?

Sorry about the pics, I suppose one ought to have been enough. Found the edit button, think its fixed
