Basic bathtub plumbing question
I've gutted our guest bathroom and the first order of business is the plumbing. The new rough in won't be a problem, but as I'm on a slab redoing the ABS drain has me a bit concerned (I installed a whirlpool tub in our master bath, but I had a decent size hole to work in).
My plan is to make up the waste and overflow, attach to tub, position the tub in place and measure the position of the centerline. I can then move the tub out of the way and make up the p-trap. I all works well I can do the final solvent weld when I position the tub in place. Does this sound reasonable? Unfortunately, the hole is small and the p-trap shallow .

I won't hesitate to break out more concrete, but do plumbers prefer making up the whole assembly with the tub in place (if they have room) or making up the trap and waste/overflow separately and then solvent welding with the tub in place. Seems like the latter would be easier.
