Removed a 5 ft tub to install a tiled shower with mud built shower floor. After removing tub, discovered that drain line running from tub p-trap is about 2-1/2 inches below top of slab, acutually partially encased with concrete. Want to relocate drain to center of shower, about 2 & half ft. That would put drain line, with slope, about 2 inches, or less, below top of slab. To accomodate new shower drain (depth of plastic housing), it appears I'll need to place the new p-trap deeper into dirt below the slab (old p-trap was attached directly to drain line and it's depth was fine for the tub). Will placing the new shower p-trap a few inches deeper into the dirt, below slab, create a draining problem as long as the top of the shower drain is higher than the new extended drain line.
