Hey Terry, thanks for the reply. It is indeed a rubber insert into a cast iron hub, I was able to remove the PVC, but am wondering if I should replace the rubber insert or just put back a PVC pipe. Do you know how long these rubber insert usually last? The house is 40 years old. Thanks a lot...

Hey Reach, thanks for the reply! The trap adapter is broken or rusted, I can't tight it. I want to remove the PVC trap adapter that goes into that rubber thing to just put a 1.5" PVC pipe that would fit in my new tub drain kit, but I am not sure how to do it, do I just pull?. Don't want to...

Hello, I am redoing the drain for my bathtub and I encountered this. This rubber thing connect to what I think is cast iron to my PVC tub drain. Can I just remove the PVC assembly shown in the picture and install a new PVC pipe into the rubber thing? If yes, do I just pull the PVC assembly from...

Would that be better than the other drawings? Also, for the cleanouts, would I be allowed to use a flush cleanout tee at these three locations? (see attached picture) Thank you! Victor

I looked up how big of a hole I was allowed to make in a 2x4 load bearing wall, and it shows 1-7/16" MAX, or a notch of 7/8" deep MAX. Here is my configuration: I am only left with doing a loop vent, correct?

Thanks for the reply Terry. I also read that some jurisdictions would not allow a loop vent on a sink that is not on an island, is that the case? I am planning to have all the piping above floor inside the stud cavity, and only give access to the cleanouts, is that ok? If I were to simplify...

Renovating a 1978 house, I just installed a larger window on top of the kitchen sink, and I am not going to be able to have a trap arm connecting directly to the vent for a structural reason. I am now obligated to do a loop venting (right?), I have already read multiple threads about it, but I...
