Todays Tools Plumb Tub

Product Information

If you need something flexible to get into those awkward spaces, or you have had burst pipes or even dripping taps then the plumbtub is just the plumbing accessory you need.

Bath panels are another option. You may use a shower curtain instead, but bath screens are more stylish and a less cumbersome option. Again, there are a range of styles available; such as folding bath screens, or simple sail shaped bath screens. Now you are ready to fix your taps, waste and overflow to your internal plumbing as per your manufacturer’s instructions. This is a case of connecting the flexible tap connectors to the right internal water pipes, you can use PTFE tape around any threaded connections to provide an extra strong seal. Your waste and overflow pipes must also by sealed tight to the bathroom's internal soil pipes beneath the bath.

There is a common misconception that freestanding baths are a hassle to have installed and involve significant disruption which is not necessarily the case. Installing a freestanding bath can be as straight forward as plumbing in an ordinary bath, as you are about to find out. The process of plumbing a freestanding bath works the same way as regular bath tub being plumbed, with a waste in the front leading to the drain pipe adjacent to the hot and cold water pipes that stop at your tub, or continue up to your shower. The only difference is that regular bathtub has plumbing that works behind the scenes, whereas freestanding plumbing works from the front and centre. The plumbing of a freestanding bathtub can also work as a design feature. Your job isn’t done when you’ve bought the bath; you also need to think about the things that go with it. Inset baths, for example, will need a bath panel for the final touch, unless you want the underneath of the bath on show. There’s a range of styles and finishes available, but you obviously need to make sure it matches both the bath and the rest of your bathroom. It is now time to work on your current plumbing, so it is best to isolate your water supply using your isolation valves. These are small, metal valves with a screw-head in the middle that you can turn to turn off the water to an individual tap. If you do not have isolation valves then you can switch off using the mains. We recommend perhaps taking this opportunity to fit isolation valves, they will be helpful for any future projects.

This is an intermediate leveljob; you will require some knowledge of plumbing and how a bathtub goes together, an understanding of legal requirements needed for this job*, and a healthy dose of confidence in your own ability . If a stringer board or tub-edge support board is present, remove it with a pry bar or a screwdriver bit on your drill. Chip away the old mortar bed if one exists. A properly installed vent keeps these pressure fluctuations under control…which in turn keeps the trap seal inside the P-Trap.Many modern bathtub models include an insulating support structure on the bottom. If yours has its own support, you can skip this step. Mark your bath, waste pipe and pipe positions on your wall with pencil.

Prepping to Replace Your Bathtub

There are several different methods of venting: wet venting, common venting, circuit venting, island fixture venting, etc… Another great option for small bathrooms are bath showers. By combining two major aspects of your bathroom, you will save floor space in your bathroom, making your space feel more open. Unlike other draining tubs, the PlumbTub requires no rubber seals or grease, making it a low-maintenance solution that can be used straight out of the box. Its innovative design also ensures that it's easy to clean, making it a reliable and hygienic tool that you can depend on.The style and appearance are very important factors when it comes to deciding which bath to choose. More importantly, practicality is also a main factor – its important to consider how you’re going to use your tub before you buy. The key to success when installing a new bathtub is to make sure the new one fits perfectly in the void left by removing the old tub. Most alcove-style bathtubs measure 5 feet long and between 28 and 34 inches deep. It’s challenging to get an exact measurement from the existing tub while it’s still in place. Fortunately, bathtubs come in standard sizes, so your educated guess from the tape measure will be the correct measurement.

The table below lists each DWV fitting used to plumb this simple bathroom. Notice each plumbing code has its own column with the specific quantity of needed fittings. Suitable for use on 10, 12, 15, and 22mm pipes, the PlumbTub is compatible with a wide range of radiators. Its large 1.4-litre capacity allows you to drain your radiator without having to empty the tub constantly, saving you time and effort.If you need to drain a radiator then the plumbtub will clip around the pipe and help collect the water, and as it gets full you can swap to a second empty tub. Now, the process of bathtub removal starts. Place a piece of cardboard or thin plywood in front of the tub to protect the floor from damage. Use a pry bar, screwdriver, or a drill and screwdriver bit to remove the nails or screws that secure the tub flange to the wall studs. Slide the tub several inches from the wall and onto the floor protection.
