In Reply to: Tub drain connections to house plumbing posted by Marty on November 12, 1998 at 00:39:12:
Very few tub installations, "slip in or slip out", but if the 2 drain connections are removed and the wall surfaces removed properly, it will come out.
: I need to rip out damaged particle board flooring next to a tub, to replace with cement board. Moving
: the tub would facilitate the job, plus allow me to look underneath for damage there, also. I am unfamiliar
: with how tub drains are connected to house plumbing. This tub has a weight-type bathtub drain, seems
: fairly light to lift, but I don't want to damage any plumbing or seals. Can these type of tubs be safely
: lifted up, like a slip in, or are connections a bit more complicated , sealed, etc. The house is approx
: 20 yrs old.
