Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "What material is polypropylene?"
A. Polypropylene is a plastic material similar to polyethylene but harder and stronger. It is resistant to corrosion and chemical leaching. Polypropylene is used for many potable plumbing applications and also for food grade, reusable, containers because of its resistance to hot water and physical impact.
Q. "I notice that you offer polished brass, brushed nickel, and other designer finishes. Are they as durable as chrome?"
A. No, items with chrome finish are less likely to tarnish with proper care.
Q. "Do you offer other direct drain style bath tub drains?"
A. Yes, we offer these direct outlet tub drains as well these unique side outlet tub drains.
Q. "Will a Bath Waste & Overflow prevent water from overflowing the tub if the faucet is flowing water half to full force?"
A.The overflow drain on a tub will not prevent an overflow of the tub if the tub or tub/shower valve is flowing water faster than 2 or 3 gallons per minute. The main purpose of the overflow drain on a tub is to have a place for the water to exit as water is displaced when someone enters the tub. Most people fill up the tub and then turn off the water before entering the tub. The normal tub overflow is 1 1/2" diameter which can normally handle 2 to 3 gallons of water per minute if the piping is clean and free of any debris or hair. Many tub or tub/shower combination valves in use today were installed before water conservation laws were passed and are capable of allowing water flow rates of between 6 and 35 gallons per minute depending on the type of valve installed. As you can see, a normal, gravity fed, tub overflow will not be able to keep up if the faucet is running faster than 2 or 3 gallons per minute. To prevent a tub overflow we suggest you keep watch while your tub is filling with water.
