Yeah - I'd have spun 90 degrees too.
Nobody takes off the blanking plug - just remove the whole trap and you won't spill a drop

Good Luck to the OP's mate too.

Many baths have too little head room to fit a standard bath waste , hence the shallow traps,. The hole beneath the trap allows easier installation.

bath are normally fitted to the bath panel height, nothing to do with head height

remove the
trap and forget inspection plug. If you had a blockage , I would always remove trap for a through clean
Or am I just old fashioned?

agree the not removing access plug was in response to force ten's post

Call it how you like , its the same space. But a hole/trap still makes things easier.

If I am lying on the floor , legs impeded by the basin piller, and have to slide out without the use of my arms ( holding with two hands , to keep it level)........ always manage to spill something

PTFE around the threads....should be around the olive if needed. Lets hope the brass isn't too distorted or stretched that much it splits
