So I noticed my shower drain isnt doing its thing anymore, and when I looked down there it was full of pieces of concrete and murky water that wont go away.
My drain looks like the one in the picture except it has a plug where the hole is.

Have you tried removing the plug? Tbh you might as well just buy a new house

Use pic related to remove pieces of concrete
>it has a plug where the hole is.
remove plug, run drain snake through hole
if it is stuck to the sides and really white in color, its not concrete, its some mix of soap, gunk, grout runoff and other shit. I have to knock that shit out of shower drains all the time that are running slow. I use a piece of 1.25 pvc and just lift and shove down to break it up and wash it down the line.
that small hole is a bypass to run a snake past the trap more than likely. if you do so, put the plug back afterwards.
Ty lads, good advice
Searched plumbing and hit this thread. I've got a totally unrelated question.
I've got a t adapter that I need the side output of. The top output, facing the camera is useless.
The right connector of the length of tube fits on the faucet the pipe that comes out of the wall. I believe that may be 3/8" female. The left side fits on the hidden side of the t-adapter. I believe that connector on the hose is 1/2" female which would make the corresponding one on the t-adapter 1/2" male.
To stop water from flowing out of the unused top end of the adapter I'll need a 1/2" male pipe end, and a legitimate 3/8" female to to 1/2" female adapter if I don't want to use the tube. Can anyone confirm this? I'm a total plumbing scrub.
Thanks for the help. I'll take better pictures or provide any info you'd like.

Post a picture of the tee that shows the whole thing

Top is suspected 1/2" female, bottom is suspected 1/2" male, and side is 8mm wing nut going to polyurethane tube.

Instead of improper descriptions of something you have that doesn't work, Try to explain what you want to accomplish.
tldr: what are you trying to connect?
>>1065328
Hot water for a bidet is supplied via polyurethane tube, the other end of which goes to that adapter. Neither of the other ends of the adapter fits into the water outlet, and there's no sink so the other end needs to be plugged. The hose that's in the picture has one end that fits on the t and another that fits the outlet. I want to emulate that with a real adapter, and I want to plug the unused part of the t.

Just buy the proper adapter and use it instead of the wrong one.
IF it's actually 1/2" female in and 1/2" female out, buy a cap for the out you aren't using.
Take the adapter to the store to be sure of proper new adapter or cap.
