In this video, Ask This Old House plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey helps a homeowner with an old 1950s bathtub replace the tub drain assembly when the current one stops plugging the tub.
SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.
Richard Trethewey visits a 1950s ranch house to help a homeowner replace his tub drain. The drain is rusted, and the stop can't be used to fill the tub. The homeowners have done some repairs and upgrades themselves but were nervous to touch the tub drain because they don't want to mess with water. Richard assures that replacing a drain is a straightforward project, as long as you have reasonable access underneath the drain and everything is correctly sealed.
Luckily, the drain is easily accessible from the basement, so the homeowner and Richard get to work. Richard lays out a mockup version of what he'll be installing and demonstrates what each piece will do. Together they remove the old drain and install the new one.

Pliers [amzn.to/3qgdklR]
Strainer wrench [amzn.to/3mlzBha]
How to replace a tub drain
1. Using a screwdriver, remove the two screws securing the overflow plate.
2. Using pliers, reach down to the drain show and turn counterclockwise. Depending on how old the tub is, you might have some trouble. Richard had to go in with a reciprocating saw for the 70-year-old drain.
3. Once the drain is completely removed, the drain piping should be loosened and removed with a pair of pliers and hand removed.
4. Remove the old putty.
5. Loosely assemble the bath waste and overflow kit.
6. Add putty to the underside of the shoe strainer and put it in the tub drain hole.
7. Underneath the tub, align the rubber gasket and show elbow under the tub drain.
8. Have the person in the tub catch the threads and turn the shoe strainer to tighten using pliers or a strainer wrench.
9. Align the overflow assembly to the overflow hole in the tub.
10. Attach the linkage assembly to the trip lever faceplate.
11. Insert the plunger linkage assembly into the overflow hole.
12. Screw the overflow plate back on.
13. Secure the slip nuts and washers.
14. Thread the new drain into the pipes.
15. Install strainer drain plate.
16. Test out new drain and stopper.
Where to find it?
Richard replaced the old bath waste and overflow with an Everbilt Trip Lever Brass Pipe Bath Waste and Overflow [thd.co/3pcQyfu] in Chrome, though most bath waste and overflow kits would also work.
Richard needed other tools and materials to replace the drain, including plumber's putty, screwdrivers, and the tub drain wrench.

I had to pull my tub and toilet to replace the subfloor (rot from behind the toilet). What I did when it came to that drain was to check the diameter and then go to the local restore and pick up a socket that fit down into the drain and then notch it out, so it fit down over the cross and worked very nicely to remove and reinstall the drain.

One issue I have is that the "toe tapper" and any other in place stopper usually collects hair and restricts flow. I know they are very common for convenience sake. I just redid a bathroom in a new home we bought. I didn't test the drains prior. When we got in and used the new bath I assumed that there had to be a blockage and I would correct that later. Turns out that the plug (once I remembered how to remove it) was the culprit for severely restricting draining. I know convenience is a good thing but when there is a risk of impeding use, I would always recommend some disclaimers. Most people don't like constant maintenance but will be ok putting a plug in every bath.

You caught that too! Good on ya mate! She's a leaka!. Probably wouldn't leak tho unless it backed up in all actuality since bottom of drain tube was inserted lower than the leak point, but not something should be shown in a how to video. Nice catch!

This is hilarious to watch as a german. This type of slot screws and the two guys in the bathtub try to unscrew it with a wrench and a plier. Please tell me that there is a tool for that :D But other than that it is entertaining to watch.

4:22 I cringe at him putting those metal tools on the tub surface. Should have placed a cloth rag or some other protector so that the tub doesn't get scratched by heavy and sharp tools.

The thing that needs replacement here more than anything is the tub itself.

I watched this to see if I could do mine -- but since I have a cement slab and no basement there's no way I could do this replacement. Oh well.

I have to do this to my 1963, original, "Regency Blue" bathtub, but the cross in the drain is rusted out and gone. My idea for an attack is to drill two holes in the shoe and then use the tines of a box end wrench to turn the shoe and break the seal. the location of all of this is not conducive for me to use a sawzall... a "Plan C" if anyone needs it

If I opted for just replacing the visible part with the toe touch assembly, would the existing drain pipe stay in place, attached to the bottom of the tub?
