Hello,
My wife and I are doing some work to convert a commercial loft into a liveable artist space in NYC. There are two bathrooms with commercial toilets, one of which we would like to convert to a shower.
The floors are concrete slab and if at all possible we want to avoid jack-hammering into it as the space is a rental and there is a limit to the amount of work we are able to put into it.
We are hoping that we can build a raised platform to build a p-trap above the concrete floor and feed that out through the toilet drain. Is it possible to convert the toilet waste drain into a shower drain?
Also, the space is pretty old and there is a possibility that the toilet drain is lead pipe (we still need to remove the old toilet to see). If that is the case - will we be able to connect PVC/copper/brass pipe to the lead pipe? Can we somehow connect to the toilet drain flange?
Any advice is greatly apreciated.
best,
David
