How are you going to access the cleanout if you need it?
If you use a cleanout tee instead of a tapped santee and turn it toward the wall. then you cover it with a chrome cleanout cover like the one Frodo mention earlier. I would use a plastic plug though. Those brass ones can be a real ***** to get out when you need to use it.

My tub directions call for a tail piece and waste pipe stub to connect to my tub no hub cast iron. What should I be looking for at the plumbing store?
Thought maybe you had that all figured out. Tried to tell you to use a 1-1/2" DWV brass p-trap and trap arm.
Maybe you can just use a 2" CI x 1-1/2" steel Mission band.
use a brass nipple so just the threads stick up through the finished floor.
The tubular brass has to fit inside the nipple. Then you just use a slip joint nut and washer to attach the tail pc from the drain. The picture of the tub drain above, I used ABS plastic. That bottom escutcheon on the floor lifts up and a slip joint is just under it. You rough it in to high and the escutcheon won't cover it or to low and you can't get the nut on ithttp://www.missionrubber.com/Products/Finder.php?FromSize=Any&FromType=Any&ToSize=2.00&ToType=K
So behind that wall is a closet. I was going to drill holes in the closet wall and cover them with the chrome plates and use that as my access point.
Yes a cleanout tee would be easier to access since I can face it the correct way. I'll see if the plumbing store has em. Thanks.
David, tried attaching tubular brass and a slip joint nut to the drain body supplied by the tub supplier. Didn't seem stable.
Here's the drain body:
Called the tub manufacturer --> they recommended Island tub drain ITD-35. (ABS)
It allows you to connect a free standing tub to a drain without access from below.
Upon further inspection I found Island tub drains offers a cast iron model ITD-357. Cool video - makes things seem simple.

So your tub has a built in overflow like a sink. That would explain the hole in the side of the drain fitting.
I have never seen that type of drain connection. I'm old school and I am often leery of some innovative ideas that are not tried an true.
Good luck with that and I hope it last a long time.
You may want to use a threaded tail piece. use a heavy 17 gauge tubular brass
