Drain for Toto soaking tub?
Comments (1)i don't know much about this, so maybe this doesn't address your question... but i bought a moen drain that came with only the 90 degree fittings & we have to cut the pvc pipe to go between them. i would think this would work for you, since you can cut the pipe to whatever length you need. i saw these as a no-name brand at lowes as well. i think they're called "drain half kits" hth, lisa Here is a link that might be useful: the drain i got...See MoreHow to install Neptune Nagano (Onsen) Soaking Tub
