I have dry-fitted connecting my new basement shower/tub 1.5 " PVC drain with a ptrap.
I am not sure how to seal up the concrete hole. At the base, the horizontal drain sits 3" below the slab, then a riser picece, and then ptrap which is right in the middle of the slab. The verticle tub drain piece seats correctly into the compression fitting on top of the ptrap at a few inches below the top of the slab.
Can I put concrete all around the ptrap fittings (careful to not move it)?
If not, I don't see how I can get a good seal; there is no long verticle piece that is not on the same level as the ptrap.
I thought I read that connections for PVC plumbing should not be concreted in and that only a through pipe should be.
Any other techniques to seal the concrete hole?
Thanks!
