Should I install p-trap under the bathtub drain and continue pipe to drain opening which is not far from tub or should I install p-trap where it was before which was in front of openning of drain? What is proper way to do it?

Is there any picture I could look at?

Thank you very much for your help.

I never had bathtub with integral overrlow before and plumbers I ask did not know, too. There is not any informations anywhere not even american standard did not give me any technical help.

The trap should install under the tub. Good luck. Tom

Absolutely. Overflow and P-Trap are two different things. You have to install trap under the tub to prevent sewer gases to vent into your bathroom. Back to you. Milo

We have purchased new bathtub with integral overflow from American Standard.

We have to install ABS pipes and assemble p- trap because there is not brass drain assembly without overflow vent.

American Standard does not have any technical support you can ask questions.

My questions are:

1) Can we install p-trap immediately under the bathtub drain assembly following tail piece. Old p-trap was on the opposite side in front of drain opening which is in cement bed little 3" about floor.
2) Are there any rules we have be aware of?
3)How to unglue old piece of ABS elbow left on the drain pipe I need to clean to glue a new piece.

Thank you very much sir for your help. We really appreciate it.

Alice, this should be attached to your earlier question rather than a new thread. Tom was helping you and will continue to do so if you post back on the old one.
