Been reading these forums for a few months, but now I need help.
I'm replacing the tub in one of my baths. I took out a one piece fiberlgass 70's era unit, and I'm putting in a Sterling 18" tall, 60" long by 32" wide tub, then I will concrete board the walls and tile. See the picture below. This is what's left after I used a sawzall to get the tub out. Nothing would unscrew it was so old.
I want to put a whole new tub drain in for the new tub right down to the PVC, but that brass piece doesn't screw out I assume? (forgive my ignorance I've done shower bases before but this is my first tub!) My plan was to cut the PVC just below the brass, install a new coupling and go from there. Is that the correct procedure? If so, do I have to maintain this exact height so the tub drain hits at the right angle? Any advice at all would be awesome! Thanks!
