We bought a Jacuzzi tub to install in our new bathroom in
the basement.
The problem is that the drain pipe coming out of the cement floor
is 2" too close to the wall.
I bought a waste/overflow kit for the tub to see how the parts go
together so that I may get around this problem.
My current plan is to raise the tub high enough to allow me to
put a couple 90 degree elbows in to connect the drain to the drain
pipe.
First question: Is this a good idea?
If so, what should I look out for?
Second, looking at the waste/overflow kit, it looks like the tail
pipe would just slide into the drain in the floor (if they lined up).
Is this right? Should there be no sealed connection?

Any other ideas from anyone who had to deal with this problem would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
