Please help me get to the bottom of this. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks!
I have this unit:
American Standard 1599.205 which is the Overflow Drain for their whirlpools. This drain is set up for horizontal draining only. The toe-pop-up drain screws into the fitting @ the bottom of the tub and then sends it out sideways.
What I am looking for the way to make it into a direct drain. Where, if you were sitting in the tub (yeah, silly I know) and you look at the drain in the bottom of the tub, that drain would go straight down into the trap. The overflow would be what would come in from the side.
Here is a picture of a direct drain:
Here is a picture of the American Standard drain that I have. If I can just get that bottom part (that the toe-drain screws into) in a Tee or a Wye or something where the top of the Tee or Wye is threaded and has the flange to support the gasket to create a seal I'd be good:
Basically I just need to change that "Drain Ell Assembly" into a "Drain Tee (?)" or something of the sort. (I think.)?
Thanks for taking the time to read and let the picking of the brains begin!
Thanks again,
Pete
