Hi,
I removed my old tub. I couldn't get the drain out of the tub, so I ended up cutting the brass pipe that connects to it from underneath. I then removed the tub and the slip nuts.
The remaining tub drain has the threaded sanitary-tee-like connection, which goes into a lead-filled joint. I went to Lowes and picked up a new brass tub drain kit, but the slip nuts from the new kit don't thread onto the old sanitary tee. Here is a picture (obviously old slip nut on right).
Both slip nuts seem to fit fine over the new brass pipe, but the the new nuts will not thread onto the old brass tee connection.
Does anyone know what I need to look for when getting the new slip nuts to ensure that they will fit? I thought this sort-of thing was standard.
