Hi all,
First time poster here. I did some searching on this topic, but I am still unsure how to proceed on my shower drain.
I am replacing a bathtub with a tiled shower (using Kerdi foam pan and Kerdi PVC drain). I am unsure how to connect to the existing drain in the concrete slab (see photos attached). The existing drain is 2" (?) galvanized pipe (probably original to the house in 1958), so it is pretty corroded.
Should I cut the vertical pipe about 1" above the P trap and then use a rubber coupling to attach the new PVC drain?
Or should I cut the existing downstream of the P trap and use a rubber coupling to do a new P trap and connection to the shower drain?
I am a bit worried about how to fit this all in to the available vertical space.
Thanks so much for your time and help on this!
