That’s the part of the problem: I can’t find where this unit drains. I’ve looked in the manual and there’s no diagram, nor can I find one online. I’ve cleaned out the unit and can’t see where the...

Norm201, that is essentially a diagram of what I’m looking at, except inverted. I will have to get to a desktop computer and upload pics.

That was actually going to be my next question. The remaining stub in the wall would give me about a 2” length of pipe to work with. That should be enough to get a solid bite with a fernco coupler,...
