Hi,
I'm doing a major bathroom remodel (down to slab and studs) and I'm installing a new tub. Working almost blindly with my one arm buried in the slab hole beneath the 400 pound tub (and also sliding the beast in and out countless times) I've been able to get the drain very, very closely aligned with the vertical section of the p-trap. Hooking the tub drain to the p-trap is proving to be exceptionally challenging. My question - by CA code, can I use a flexible rubber (with hose clamps) connector in this situation? Alternatively, can I use a glued-on compression fitting to connect to the downward drain pipe or do I need to screw a fitting onto the tee and then glue it to the p-trap? The last one will be a bear!
How long will that rubber fitting last? I NEVER want to work on this again.
Thank you for your help!!!
