Thread: Add additional trap to tub drain????

  1. #1

    Default Add additional trap to tub drain????

    I don't know if this question makes sense but I have to ask it.

    Can I put a second trap directly under my tub drain which would be approx 10" to 14" from existing trap? The existing overflow drain would be cut and capped.

    Previously i have published pictures of my existing installation, which may help in answering my question if adding is ok.

    Thanks...

    No.Replace waste and overflow,trap and waste line.
    This should solve your problem.

    no.

    no to 2 traps in a row. No to 2 traps in series.

    Only one trap. Cut the old one out.

    Problem is that trap or line is under a wall table that is framed in.
    I will do the Right thing but wanted to see if any other methods available.
    See my Photos in previous messages. Thanks for replys.

    Default trap

    One trap = good drainage.
    Two traps = NO drainage.
    Do whatever it takes to move the trap to the proper location.
