Product Information

The Freestanding Tub Drain is a high-quality drain system designed for use with freestanding bathtubs. It is suitable for both wood sub-floor and concrete installations. The drain body is made of durable materials and comes with a pre-installed test plug for easy testing and installation. The drain assembly includes a protective cap cover that should be kept in place until ready for tub installation. The product is available with two different installation options: Brass Tailpiece Tub Installation and Schedule 40 PVC/ABS Tub Installation.

Brass Tailpiece Tub Installation
