I have an old house built in 1880. Just recently removed the old cast iron tub. I’m a first timer.
The new tub drain will line up exactly center on a joist that was already notched for the previous drain.
The new tub doesn’t have enough room for the drain shoe, I need about 2.5inches of clearance under tub to fit existing
I need advice. As I see it I have three options:
1. Cut a hole in my living room ceiling to access joist, Completely cut joist out and box it.
2. Raise tub up with platform.
3. Have tub drain go to a sideways T connected to to meet the existing P trap . I could run some 45s up to the overflow. Is this even legal or acceptable?
The room is very unlevel. I planned on setting tub in mortar but the non drain side is about 1.5 inches lower on far end of the alcove.
Thanks!
