A waste and overflow drain is a plumbing assembly installed in bathtubs, allowing for the controlled drainage of water and preventing overflow. It consists of two main components: the waste drain at the bottom of the tub and the overflow opening near the top, which connects to the waste line. This system ensures that excess water is safely diverted to the drainage system, preventing spillage and potential water damage. Proper installation and maintenance of waste and overflow drains, including clearing debris and checking seals, help maintain bathtub drainage efficiency and prevent leaks.
