I need to move my existing tub drain to the other side of the alcove to accommodate my new tub...long story.
Drain is 1.5" ABS, need to run 6', thru about 4 joists (2x10). Not the least bit interested in notching the joists...
How do I tie this into the existing? (45*, 90* ??). I am assuming I need to remove existing trap and relocate with new drain as double traps are a no-no...
Need suggestions for spanning thru the joists...
Is 1.5" hole saw good, or should I go bigger for wiggle room?
I'm not sure the 6' run will flex enough to get thru all the joists in 1 piece...should I cut & glue in some couplers? Is this good practice?
Slope-- do I need to slope this new section?
Vent -- PLEASE say I don't need to mess with the venting!!!
Glue -- is there an ABS primer??? Should I use it? I've seen ABS cleaner, should I use that??? I already got the word on making sure I use ABS GLUE!!! <-- another long story!
Thanks All!
