Determine your size for bathtub

After remodeling the bathroom it is very hard to install bathtub without to replace some studs but the Flex p-trap it’s your solution. Flex p-trap for Bathtub has a 2.0-2.5 inches water seal when bathtub it’s on second floor because limited space (high of joist). When the bathtub it is on first floor you can use a deep seal p-trap too. For bathtub with overflow with nuts Fig.47A, Fig.47B we have one size flex p trap and for bathtub with overflow glued Fig.48A, Fig.48B, Fig.49 we have other size flex p trap. The Flex bathtub p-trap have rubber cord and plastic washer. The tolerance for measurement is ±0.5 inches.
