So upon pulling the subfloor up we noticed there is a 21" beam running directly under the area for the freestanding tub ... not a problem for the drain as it is positioned on the correct side of the beam but the overflow outlet will be on the wrong side! We knew the beam was there but though the floor joists ran over it and it did not go all the way to the subfloor...
Both the drain and overflow are in the center of the tub (not at the ends)
Instead of having the overflow go directly down into the floor, we were thinking to route it around the outside of the tub to the long end and connect up to the drain at that point then install the ptrap protecting both... this would be done using a finished brushed nickle and obvoisly not ABS ..
This would put the ptrap for the drain approx 36" to the left of the drain ...
Would there be any issues with this setup with regards to UPC Code / California ?
Really it is the only option as of now .. the beam spans the whole 25 feet of the garage..
OR is the best thing to do to run the drain as normal with the ptrap under it and reroute the overflow and add a ptrap there as well, then connect the 2 and head to the vent?
