Hello Everyone,

I am stumped here.

My house was built in 1985 in Central Florida. We are renovating the master bath and I have run into this issue.

The drain coming out of the house appears to be 1.5" with a 1.5" tubular conversion piece on it. I want to use a schedule 40 PVC 1.5" tub drain kit on it. I need the kit tee to sit pretty much exactly where this fitting is. There is not enough room to convert it. How can I remedy this? Is the solution to use 1.5" tubular instead of standard PVC for the tub drain? If that is the case would something this product work? https://www.amazon.com/Watco-Manufacturing-500-LT-PVC-CP-1-5-Inch-Overflow/dp/B005FJ92B4

Either use tubular or dig up the trap and replace it if there's no room to use a coupling.

Some as above, if you dig that out some you might be able to add a coupling or perhaps the trap too.
The threaded male adapter there is for the tubular waste and overflow.

thanks guys. I won't be digging up the concrete anymore than it is so tubular it is! I learned today that there is 1.5" and 1.5" tubular and they are not the same.
