I'm a newbie in the process of replacing a tub in my 1953 house and i have a few questions, i searched for awile but couldn't come up with the answers. Maybe these are obvious to most but i'm stumped here...
1) I bought a brass drain kit, how do i connect it to the drain pipe under the house? (old lead pipe maybe??)
2) The drain pipe under the house does a U and there is a "canister" shaped object connected to the pipe that looks like its in bad condition. What is it and does it need to be replaced or axed or what?
3) There is standing water in the drain pipe (under the house) maybe four inches from the top of the pipe. Is that ok or does that mean there's probably a clog?
Thanks so much, i would greatly appreciate any advice that i can get right now, im stuck and the wife want's some progress soon.:whistling2:
