i am setting my bathtub in a concrete basement apartment.
got an expensive brass drain assembly by gerber ($75-ish).
Q1: should i use a regular tail adapter between it and the P-trap ? if so, should i use one with or without a tapered washer ? i noticed they have the kind on which the female part is spaced to allow for a washer in between it, the tail pipe, and the male, as well as those with a female part that cannot fit a washer.
Q2: also, does the washer act as a gasket ? this will all be buried, oh by the way
Q3: how do i test that the connection between the tail pipe and the adapter does not leak under a big discharge (tub full of water being released) when the tub has an apron - cannot see the drain ?
