If I may ask a related question...
How does one measure the 5' distance? What if the disconnect were under a deck surrounding a halfway-sunken tub, meaning that the bottom half of the tub is visible below the decking?
Is the distance measured in a straight line, ignoring physical barriers, or along a pathway that, say, a rope or one's arms must take from the tub's rim, around the deck's edge and/or skirt, and back under?
