    How to fix a leaking elbow from tub drain
    Leak from iron y connecter between tub drain and trap pipe. Can this be fixed without replacing all pipes? I have some access from hole in adjacent wall.

    Is it cast iron or brass? Where Is it leaking? Are there large nuts on the fittings?

    Elbo, wye?? I don't see either one.
    More details please! Iron pipe? Cast iron or galvanized? Here's a typical bath and trap connection, (see image) Show me the wye you're referring to. Would it be the tee?

    Most likely. Is this a leak from a compression joint or a threaded connection? Back to you. Tom
