Bathtub Waste & Overflow Drain Assembly - PVC or Brass? - My Advice Herrick Kimball 2024-01-29 | Here's what you should know when it comes to choosing between a brass or PVC tub drain assembly...Amazon affiliate links...Westbrass D324-26 waste & overflow assembly:youtu.be/s3jVQm8rznY?si=6-t6dB312gKRLb--IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the larger assembly I show in this video. I purchased this one because my tub is deeper than the standard tub. I had to cut the tubes and the long shut-off linkage rod shorter. The tubes were cut to size without any problem but the linkage was a problem. I ended up cutting, overlapping, and soldering the brass rod to get it right. If you have a standard-size tub, and want to get the Westbrass quality, I recommend that you get a standard-size Westbrass waste and overflow assembly like this next one .......Westbrass D323 14" waste & overflow assembly:amzn.to/3ScBaNwIMPORTANT NOTE: I have not personally inspected this assembly but I am assuming it has the same quality build as the Westbrass assembly I purchased and show in this video. For some reason, the price of this assembly is more than the one I bought. I suggest that you search Amazon for other sellers and perhaps EBAY too.
