Can I Replace Drum Trap with P Trap?
Hi there! My house was built in 1960 and has a slab foundation. I have removed the old master bathtub that I plan to replace with a shower. I have a couple of questions concerning the drum trap on the floor next to the master tub. First, the drum trap is so close to the bathtub that the new style showers are considerably larger and would mostly cover it up--so what are my options? What happens if I just cover it up (is that a stupid "girly" question? He he) Is it difficult to replace it with a P trap (I had read similar postings concerning ventilation)? The other concern was that there is no visible drum trap in the front bathoom--does the drainage from the other bathroom tie into this trap, or WHAT? Do I need to be on he lookout under a cabinet for another drum trap?
Thanks, Kristin.
