Bathtub Drain Series
No other room has more drains than the bathroom. A typical
bathroom will have a lavatory basin drain, a shower or bathtub drain, and perhaps the most important
drain in the house, the toilet.
Shower drains must have straining plates in place to prevent objects like bottle caps and soap
shards from falling in. Longer hair can also build up and slow the drain over time. Plates will
prevent this by catching much of the debris for easy removal.
Tubs and bathroom sinks will have stopper assemblies. Their design will differ, but most work by
means of a linked leverage to raise and lower the stopper device. This linkage assembly will serve
the purpose of a strainer, and catch quite a bit of debris which will build up over time.
