I'm installing new pvc trap arm to my existing tub. Also replacing the tub drain and overflow assembly, using a new t-waste drain assembly from Jones Stephens. I'm also using a standard solvent weld 1 1/2 in p-trap. Not having done this in over 15 years, I realized there is something I don't know. Will the 1 1/2 in pvc p-trap mate up to the tub drain? Is so, will it also be a solvent weld connection?

It depends on which tub drain (shoe) you buy. There are different types.

Glue it up Jet boy! 1 1/2 should be good unless its a long trap arm Not that common to require 2 inch.

Yeah, thanks for the help. That is the one I ordered due to an obstruction. It is 1 1/2, and I'm just under the maximum length in Wisconsin. I forgot that the drain fitting is basically a san-tee.
