Hi guys,
I'm installing a new bathtub and wanted to run my plan by you see if you can spot any mistakes.
The new drain is 1.5" PVC. This should give you the idea:

My plan is to remove everything starting with that mission coupling and build it up like this:
- Use a 2 in. x 1-1/2 in. DWV Flexible Reducer to go from 2" ABS to 1.5" PVC. I think the reducer can act like a slip joint and give me more flexibility with aligning tub drain pipe and the trap.
- Connect 1.5" PVC pipe and P-Trap with Union and Plastic Nut. Again, union will give me flexibility with alignment.
- Glue up the tub drain and the trap, ensuring that the horizontal part of the assembly has a slight downward slope towards the sewer inlet.
- Test for leaks and bury the whole thing in dirt.
