How do you switch bathtub drain to shower drain?

Question

You know, I'm trying to switch bathtub to shower, but drain is different, I think.

I don't wanna call plumber, so I'm trying to do it myself.

Please help!

Answer 1

You need to tear out the tub drain, back to the main. Tub drains are 1-1/2" and showers require 2" drains.

Answer 2

they are very different. honestly i would call a plumber

Answer 3

If you currently have a shower head and a tub faucet, you pull upon the little k**b on top of the tub faucet while the water is on.  If there isn't a k**b on top, some tub faucets you pull down on the ring where the water comes out while the water is running.

If you don't have a shower head, WalMart and other places have a hose that attaches to the end of the tub faucet and hangs from the wall that works OK.

Answer 4

Rough is is completely different

pipe size is different (in Oregon)

I would'nt recommend starting to teach yourself plumbing in this project

Hire someone and watch and learn

but if you make them take longer expect to pay extra for that
