Reply to comment by SteeleRain01 in Replacing tub drain plumbing, filling the hole that it's in and, finally, connecting the tub. by Deh_Strizzz

Actually, the inside bottom of the tub will end up hanging over the current hole in the ground (about halfway over) which is why I figured I could snake a pipe from the center drain over to the p-trap

In that case maybe it will work, but I'd still be worried about the shallow or lack of drop from the top of the drain in the tub to the horizontal drain pipe. I do hope it works out for you. Good luck.

Thanks haha. I'm most likely going to bring in a professional at the very least just for a consultation. I truly appreciate the help you've offered on this.

Of course! A consultation is always a good idea and worth any money you might pay now to avoid a costly repair down the road. I may also be too cautious because all my tubs are always on second stories or wooden floors and would cause catastrophic damage if something went wrong.

I'm not sure why I was so afraid to just break into the concrete. I thought it'd be harder and much more technical than what it actually ended up being. Rented a demo hammer and I was done in about thirty minutes. Best of all, I now have the peace of mind from not using any flex pipe (which is actually what the plumber recommended I install). Thanks for the rec on this one.

Oh that's great to hear. I'm glad it worked out. 👍
