    Old washtub drain?
    I am looking at replacing a lead drain (trap) , it is an old concrete wash tub that does not have a threaded coupler on the bottom of the sink. It has two studs out of a rectangle piece that seems to be built into the tub. Does any place sell this type?
    Thanks

    No.

    Also, you're better off just replacing the tub.

    Concrete is a very porous material and is a breeding ground for all manner of cooties.

    Growler's bang on. Your best bet would be to replace the entire set up from the stubout all the way. Good luck, Tom
