There are three types of tubs available in the market and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.excellentphm.com\/bathroom-remodeling.html\"><strong>installation of a bathtub drain<\/strong><\/a> is common to all of them. These are tubs set on legs, tubs set on a base and a built-in tub. The <strong>bathtub drain kit<\/strong> comes in a variety of finishes, chrome, bronze, nickel and brass. You will need to do some preparation. If you have an existing bath tub, remove the plaster and drywall. For a new bathtub setup, you will need to assemble the following tools.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Glue<\/li>\n<li>Plumber\u2019s putty<\/li>\n<li>Drain assembly<\/li>\n<li>Trap pipe<\/li>\n<li>Swivel connector with washers<\/li>\n<li>Screwdriver<\/li>\n<li>Pliers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Bathtub<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The bathtub should be installed and put in place in your Colorado Springs bathroom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Fix Drain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take the drain assembly, remove nuts and washers from it and put the plumber\u2019s putty under the rim of the drain. After doing this, the drain rim should be put under the drain hole. It should be held firmly for some time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Fix Gasket and Nuts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The rubber gasket on the bathtub should be put on the part that hooks to the tub. Slide the nut and washer onto the overflow pipe as well as the drain shoe. A drain T-fitting needs to be put on the overflow pipe. Connect the drain and overflow pipes to the drain T-fitting. Tighten the nuts with pliers. While doing this, care should be taken that too much pressure is not applied.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Connect the Trap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A drain T-fitting needs to be put on the overflow pipe. The drain and overflow pipes need to be connected with the drain T-fitting and the nuts need to be tightened with pliers. The trap on the plastic pipe needs to be pulled down far enough so that the tailpiece can be fitted onto the bottom of the T-fitting. During this process, ensure that the connections are made evenly and fittings are not used in the wrong position. The pipes should also have been measured to the correct size.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5: Tailpiece<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A thin coat of pipe joint compound needs to be applied to the threads on the tailpiece. This needs to be fitted into the T-fitting on the trap pipe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 6: Nuts and Washers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Slip the nut and washer onto the tailpiece. These need to be tightened appropriately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 7: Trip Waste and Stopper<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Connect the trip waste by feeding the linkage into the overflow tube opening in the tub. In case of a pop-up plug, the trip lever should be left open. In case of a plunger, the drain screen should be put over the drain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 8: Check and Test<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There should be no loose connections. All the connections should be reinforced with glue. There should be no leakages. Check and test by filling the bathtub with water and then draining it.<\/p>\n<p>Should you encounter any difficulties, call your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.excellentphm.com\/\">Colorado Springs plumbe<\/a>r<\/strong> to complete the job easily and efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>If you are looking for a Colorado Springs drain training specialist then please call 719-393-9300 or complete our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.excellentphm.com\/contact-us.php\">online request form<\/a>.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While setting up a bathtub in your Colorado Springs home, one of the crucial steps that need to be undertaken is to set up a bathtub drain.
