I have seen them, Remember yours is 15 years old now. How about size also? Most that I have been seeing are now using 60" instead of the old 54"ponch37300 wrote:I've never seen a "normal" tub drain with overflow in a MH. Mine is a 2000 and doesn't have overflow type drains. Maybe on the really new ones they have upgraded to overflow type drains but I haven't seen them. These have to be accessed from underneth the trailer and you have to find the right drain. My local box stores don't sell the right ones. There is one hardware store that has the mini basket strainer type drain, otherwise I try to order online.
Yes it is 15 years old but I personally have never seen a normal overflow drain in a MH. I'm not saying they aren't out there but just very very uncommon from what I've seen. Our tub is 60" long with the mini basket strainer type drain with no overflow. Our master tub is a bigger corner sit in style that also doesn't have an overflow type drain.HouseMedic wrote:I have seen them, Remember yours is 15 years old now. How about size also?

Ponch, I am not disagreeing with you at all. I know most would have the other strainer type with the nut. I don't work on mobile's everyday so I don't see the majority around here in my area. I have also seen the shoe type without the overflow. The back half connects to the vent pipe going to the roof right behind the tub. Maybe we are starting to see more here on the east coast. I have no idea. I did work on a floor once and the place had 2x8 floor joist so maybe if they are using this size joist they are starting to use the shoe type.ponch37300 wrote:Yes it is 15 years old but I personally have never seen a normal overflow drain in a MH.
