I am converting an old tub into a shower. A 1.5" drain is there and a 2" drain is required for a shower. I dug up the mud around the drain and here is what I have.
Brass shower drain
connected (soldered) to lead pipe
connected to a drum trap
drum trap connected to ??
Im not sure where the drum trap connects to since its under the cement. Since I am redoing the entire bathroom (new tile floor also) Im leaning towards breaking cement to remove the entire pipe and replace it with a new one.
Are drum traps obsolete?
Is it best to replace them with a p-trap?
