Is there a way to fix this so the drain assembly will sit flush with the rubber washer on the bottom of the tub? Or did I buy the wrong drain and overflow (I heard that they are all basically standard and can be adjusted to your tub, but maybe I am wrong)? Or is this gap considered normal? This doesn’t really have to do with the length of the PVC, it has to do with the angle I believe. The drain assembly makes contact with one side of the tub shoe drain, but it is about ¼ inch above the other side of the tub shoe drain. Now everything almost lines up, but the drain comes down at quite an angle on the tub shoe (as you can see in the photo below) and thus, the tub shoe does not fit perfectly to the new drain assembly. So I had to measure and shorten the PVC to make it fit the tub better. Actually it was much longer in both directions than it needed to be. The new drain and overflow did not fit the tub perfectly straight out of the box. I have heard these are better than the screw/slip joints, and that is why I bought it.Īnyways, my tub is 60 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 14 ¼ inches tall. ![]() It is a schedule 40 PVC drain and overflow and it is the kind that has to have all its connections PVC cemented (there are no slip joint/ screw joints). Now I am trying to fit my new tub to a brand new drain and overflow assembly I bought from Lowe’s hardware. Hi guys, as some of you may know I am putting in a new tub for the first time.
