I am completely remodeling a small 6'3"x6'7" bathroom. I plan to replace the shower with a neo-angle tiled shower using a Kerdi shower kit. Because I'm using the Kerdi system, I needed to replace the drain.
And so my troubles begin. As I break up the slab I find that the clamping drain is attached to what appears to be a 4" pipe going straight down. So I start digging. There must be a trap somewhere, right?
About 8" down I find the connection to the vent. It is at an upward angle and is cast into the "pipe". At about 12" down, I find the bottom of the pipe. Now I am on the hunt to find out where/how the water leaves this vertical pipe. I have dug most of the way around the pipe so it must be under vent pipe.
Is this something standard for a house built in 1963?
How am I going to replace this mess with a PVC P-trap?
