Hello Folks,,, got another stumper here (for me) Working on the old bathroom remodle..
Having a little problem with my tub drain. I am replacing my tub and after I disconnected everything and got the tub out of the way I went to remove the overflow and drain assembly from the floor (Slab), well to my surprise, it just popped off, no tools required. Leading to my problem. As you have already figured the whole tube was rotted through. What I see now is a hole in my slab, and in the bottom of that hole I have a fitting that goes down into the ground with more concret around it. I have tried to screw in another pipe but it no worky. I am thinking the threads are corroded so bad nothing will bit or that some of the threads from the overflow and drain valve are stuck in there. I have used a wire brush and ran around the threads that I see, but the pipe still wont start.
Any Ideals? I am not a plumber and I dont have one of those huge tap and die sets. I am open for any kind of help and gladly accept them all! If my only resort is to call in the pro's anyone got a ideal at what I would be looking at for a posible repair and more inportantly $$$$$$.
thanks
Jake
