We are remodeling our current master bath.

Along one wall we have a toilet, then stall shower, then bathtub. We would like to remove the bathtub and replace it with a toilet. Then cap the existing toilet drain and expand the current stall shower over where the existing toilet was.

Can the drain that was the bathtub be used for the toilet? Does something special need to be done ?

Any point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Sorry! A toilet requires at least a three inch pipe for a drain line while your tub only has a 1 1/2 or 2" drain line. To get this done the drainage will have to be reconfigured under the flooCan the drain that was the bathtub be used for the toilet? Does something special need to be done ?/r.
