Thanks Toby,
Yeah I had 1&1/2 to 1&1/4" reducers at both ends with the 1&1/2 trap and
elbow and no way, But maybe if reducer @ shower end is about 1/2"+ longer
and I might be able to squeeze in but might be seating on top of tank?, But
then I have to make the hole bigger. Was hoping someone knew of a stash of
these somewhere, You know there's some out there, But then it wouldn't be a
stash huh. Also was thinking of trying 1&1/4/or1/2" flex type hose for a
trap and tie-in, But for now I just capped off, We haven't used yet, So
guess we saved us a wet spot. I was checking for odors, And all else looked
real good after I removed old mice nest sure hate to remove anything else
just for the trap.
Thanks again
Ron
