    Unorthodox waste and overflow

    Hi Culocleaner...

    You are having trouble finding an overflow with a ptrap simply because tub waste assemblies don't come with a ptrap attached... never have... ;)

    You can remove the old tub waste assembly and install a new tub waste assembly and see if it can adapt over to the old trap OR you'll need to cut out the old trap and install a new trap and then install a standard tub waste assembly.

    If you can post a well-lighted picture of the tub waste and trap I can tell you even more.

    Back to you...
