Removing the Basement Shower Stall does the floor hole inevitability to be centered beneath the spanking new Bathtub drain? I don't have alot of room to work next to and I...
I don't have alot of room to work next to and I was wondering if the hole at the bottom of the hip bath needs to be directly over the hole within the floor? I obviously don't do plumbing, but I be curious anyway. Any help would be appreciated. I longing someone could walk me through this. I want a hip bath so badly and I'm poor. It's my sisters house and she said I could do it if I well-educated how.
I agree with the two posted answers, however the drain can be located within a place that is at one remove above the hole in the tub.
Let me explain.
Yes the tub hole should be aliged (left to right) beside the drain pipe, but it can be set back a bit if the tub output pipe contains a bend and a slop(inclined) drin pie that would later connect to the floor drain.

As answer # 1 states, it certainly would backing.
There is an issue in not knowing what space you enjoy to work with, or the type of tub, the altitude off the floor/clearance, the actual tub drain hardware fitting might be.
I expect you can assume to add the proper size drain plumbing that may connect rotten center with the current hardware IN/On the floor, plus any elbows, etc, might not allow plenty clearance under a tub, to do exactly what you want.
Is it impossible to directly cover the current surrounded by floor drain hardware? Have you a tub in mind?

newly my two "sense"
Answers: it does not have to be faultless, but it has to be close. you do not want to be putting unnecessary bents contained by the drain, this will slow down the amount of time to drain. and what ever you do, DO NOT pitch the drain the wrong way or it will pocket forever for your tub to drain
this can be tricky for someone with fixed exp but you may be able to raise/ build a sub floor after you have alittle more room to acquire the tub drain to match up near the old drain. the other answers be correct also this might help you next to another way to progress about this,angelic luck.
