I could use your help with options for installing the drain on a freestanding tub.
The install is on a concrete slab, so what I have leftover from the previous tub is a square hole in the slab, dirt below, and the old P-Trap in the hole.
My concern is that the install instructions ask you to glue the final 1 1/2 FPT to Slip adapter which will then be inaccessible forever! You would never be able to perform any maintenance on the plumbing or fix a possible leak. Even Jacuzzi told me that the only way to get at the plumbing would be to destroy the $2-3k tub, or come up through the ceiling below, which doesnt apply.
This cant possibly be the only option.
The drain and integrated overflow channel meet and then go straight down into the P-Trap [see illustration]
Are there any products on the market that act more like a lav sink, where the drain pipe just gets inserted into the trap and could be pulled out if needed?
Here is a product video that shows this concept using what seems to be a rubber boot. It wont work for me, but shows you the idea.
