Installation of a new tub drain requires the old drain to be removed and the area cleaned thoroughly. Take the time to clear out the drain. The removal of the old drain is covered in another video (see the link below).
Installation of the new tub drain may require an adapter, which is usually supplied with a universal tub drain strainer.
Tools and supplies required:
- Adjustable Groove Joint Pliers (Channellock pliers) or drain installation tool to install the drain:
- Flathead screwdriver:
- Plastic scraper to remove excess plumbers putty (or use flathead screwdriver)
- Plumbers Putty:
- Teflon Tape / PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) Tape:
Adapter Required:
If an adapter is required, wrap the tape around the outside of the adapter so that when it is threaded the tape will not bind. To do this, hold the adapter in your left hand and hold the tape in your right hand. Begin to wrap the adapter starting at the top and wrapping down around the side furthest from you around the bottom and back up to the top. At least 3 times around to cover all threads.
Install the adapter with the grooves facing upwards so that you can use a screwdriver to help secure the drain adapter below the drain tub level so that the drain will sit flush with the tub when secured. While securing the adapter take care not to cross thread it.
Application of Plumbers Putty:
Take a small ball of plumbers putty and knead it in your hands to warm it up and begin rolling it into a length that will fit around the tub drain. Apply the plumbers putty as demonstrated in the video. Make sure there are no gaps and apply some downward pressure around the putty to flatten it a little (not a lot of pressure).
Installation of Drain:
Remove the drain cartridge (this is the part which you push down with your foot to close or open the drain). Using the same procedure above wrap the drain threads with Teflon tape. Begin to thread the drain into the threads. While securing the drain take care not to cross thread it. Hand tighten the drain to the point in which it contacts the plumbers putty.
Using either a drain installation tool or pliers begin to secure the drain. If using pliers as demonstrated in the video, insert the handles into opposite sides of the cross drain. Now use the pliers as the leverage point and start tightening the drain down into the tub. It is important to secure it tightly but do not risk breaking the cross at the bottom of the drain. As you torque the drain into place the plumbers putty will squeeze out. If you are satisfied with your torque applied, remove the pliers. Remove any excess plumbers putty. Using a plastic scraper or the end of a flathead screwdriver (be careful not to scratch the tub) scrape away the excess plumbers putty to give it a clean look. Do not let any plumbers putty enter the drain.
Installation of Drain Cartridge:
Install the drain cartridge into the drain strainer.
Clean up:
Clean the area thoroughly and remove any debris. Do not let any plumbers putty enter the drain. Using a cleaner, clean the drain and take the time to clean the faucet and surrounding area.
Test:
Turn on the water with and without the drain being closed. If you have access to the back of the tub, inspect for leaks under the tub.
If you do not have access, listen for drips or keep an eye out for leaks on the lower level or the surrounding floor area.
Replacement Drains:
Foot Lock Tub Drain prices are anywhere from $17.99 and up. These links were good in January 2016 but may become obsolete. You will typically find these parts under Plumbing: Tub and Shower Drains. You can also search for “tub drain strainer”.
