Installing a Freestanding Tub w/o Overflow
Comments (1)Bump. I am also looking at freestanding tubs and would prefer to go without overflow to get a higher water level. pat2kat, what did you end up using?...See Morefreestanding tub?
Comments (14)I believe typical vanities are 21" deep. And be aware of distances between objects. The picture you have with the rustic vanity and free standing tub looks like a bear to clean at the floor and tub side that is against that wall as L-W-O and jrueter have mentioned. Lots of good feedback. If your window is centered on the wall, like you have drawn initially, you probably wont be able to center the tub with the deck style of tub with the shelving unit integrated, but you will get some great shelf space. Unless you put 12" at each end of the tub, then you could center, I guess. But the vanity would curve into the deck as it transitioned from vanity width to 12". If you put all the storage at the vanity end then it could flow straight from vanity to wall unit, but tub not centered. Or, you could put 16-18" unit at vanity end and a 6-8" shallow shelving at the other tub end. I agree with L-W-O about a 48" wide vanity. Or as I mentioned before what about an 18" deep vanity? I like all your posted inspiration pictures. You will get this worked out :)...See MoreFreestanding Tub w/o Overflow Installation Help
Comments (5)You need to use a WATTS "Female Standing Bath Drain" also called a standing bath waste pipe. Basically the assembly connects to the drain hole at the bottom of the bathtub then a connecting pipe runs at a right angle under the tub and floor about 8 inches past the side of the bathtub where it dead ends on a horizontal to vertical (up and down) T connection. Below the T connection is the trap. Moving up from the T connection there is an inner and outer standing pipe with a cover that allows one to pull open or drop closed the inner pipe which effectively opens and closes this type of bathtub drain. Overflow is controlled by a hole on the top side of the inner pipe. When water reaches that hole it flows in and down through the inner pipe to the trap below. I hope this was helpful....See Morefreestanding air jetted tub/tub studio
Comments (6)We are not in full remodel mode but my jetted tub is partially dismantled. I took a pic of what it looks in the front. Since there are jets on the opposite side, I’m guess there’s piping on the back as well. When all done the tub will be covered with a tile or stone front. I can’t say is impossible, just saying can’t imagine hiding it with a stand alone....See Moresdiver2489
