Basic bathroom-plumbing-diagram for baths
Now, let’s move onto the bathroom-plumbing-diagram for baths. Baths are easier than showers because they are self-contained and there aren’t many places where a bath can leak. We’ll start out with a simple tub, which you install. Some have surrounds and some don’t.
The bathtub plumbing fixtures will already have been installed at this point. It’s just a matter of hooking up the water supply to the correct handles and the drain waste assembly to the septic system.

The drain waste is an assembly piece that covers the drain and the overflow hole in the tub.

The overflow is attached by inserting two screws through the overflow plate and the drain is secured by screwing it into the drain waste assembly to make a water tight seal.

The faucet handles and faucet just screw into the bath plumbing assembly and the handles usually have a screw on the top to secure to the pipes in the wall.
