Easy Freestanding Tub Installation - WHY YOU NEED THIS!!! - Island Tub Drain

Most Freestanding Tubs now have an integrated overflow, and they require a hook-up from below the tub. If there is no access below, the Jacuzzi MZ-20000 (Island Tub Drain) is needed to make the hook up easier.
This is especially helpful on a concrete foundation or where there is no access from below the subfloor.
This video shows step by step how the MZ-20000 is installed. Stay tuned for the next video which will show the actual installation of the freestanding tub.

If you are struggling at life right now- I understand. Life is hard and I have been where you are. Just remember- it's always darkest before dawn, and you are one decision away from everything changing. Sometimes it's just a matter of letting go of old ideas, traditions, and attitudes that were impressed upon us as children.
I love you, I love being your tilecoach, and I'll see you on the next video.

Went thru three plumbers, none of them knew how to install freestanding tub properly (hard piping or plastic extendable pipe were not good options). Finally found this video, bought all the parts, showed it to the forth plumber, yesterday the tub was finally installed. You saved my marriage, thanks!

when doing a project man is a man that is looking out for your best

Just a tip: When using inside pipe cutter, plug the drain with rag below the cut line ( just in case the bit loosens and drops into drain) It happened while I was doing my parents drain and it took me a long time to fish it out.

I have put a couple of these in and now getting ready to put one in another one - I am actually helping my plumber with this - he has never used one of these before - these drains are awsome

[stuartray-fm]

Great video. I like that you don't waste time with useless preamble - straight to the point, good detail and very easy to understand. I subscribed.

I'm eating lunch reading the directions to the exact drain. How lucky am I?? Thanks for the lesson. I'm not too old to learn.

[clarcknikki]

Thanks a lot . My plumber did not want to spend couple of hundreds bucks to install asymmetrical flange in rough in and made a messy job. after seeing your video I fixed it my self. great job.

I have watched a lot of your videos and find them very educative. Thank you for the effort to improve and help others with their projects Pro or DYS! I have bought 3 different occasions this drain. The one you do show. Different sellers and all 3 times had fail for Me... They all leaked from the gasket. One almost cost me thousands of dollars. I try to take one apart and even with the right tools almost destroy it. They try to seal it but coming out of the box leak. Just poor water and you will see. I just wanted to share my experience and help others prevent a disaster. If you decide to get one of this drains? Poor water in the base out the box and leave it for a while. Make sure the gasket does not leak from under the base. Between the Black base to the White PVC

Fantastic video and a must for everyone who wants to install a freestanding tub and has never done it before (that’s me 😂)

[sharonstone]

I’m renovating an entire house from the studs (and in the case of floor joists- had to replace those too). The videos by tile coach have helped tremendously!

[jonnyconnors]

Your the only person who would like to help others as me, like you do thank you. I just watched my first drop in drain video. How do I get the parts to this drain system. I just started my own business as a handy man service and my first two jobs bathroom remodels in basements. Lol thank you for answering my questions on this subject. Can't wait to learn more from you boss lol

[eschaferTV]

I followed every step you outlined in your video. I can't thank you enough for all the detail and explanation which helped me complete the rough in on my own. Your positivity is contagious. Thank you. Keep going. I hear you.

[sanaenergy]

That was amazing. 32 plumbers in Detroit and No one knew how to install. They all wanted to rip off 1st floor ceiling

[plmbr]

Thanks for the video and info. This helps a lot and I've been plumbing since 1994 and I just haven't had this experience and I do 99.9999% residential work. And I'm glad to be a new subscriber. Maintain your excellence. Peace out.

[gotshun]

REALLY super informative Ike. I watch you all the time and I have made a great deal of customers and money because of you. Thank you very much for your great tutorials. B.T.W. I purchased the fx flow and it works amazing. I don't think I'll be using any other drain system from now on. Thanks again. Pete in Florida.

[jeffreymiller]

I am a HVAC/P Mechanic. This is my first research for freestanding tub. I saw this drain kit (optional) didn’t know of its existence. Your video nailed what I needed to see looking forward to see more of your work. Thank You. Be Safe Jeff.

[adamkoepke]

This was such a HUGE help for me. If you did work in east idaho I would have hired you to do the job instead! Btw absolutely love schluter

[vinceparente]

As a plumber myself I don't glue in that stub out from the trap, that way I can get an exact measurement without having to use an inside cutter and know that my pipe is cut square. I'm not criticizing your work I think that was a great video but it's merely a suggestion as it works a lot easier for me.

[rromeropov]

Awesome! Love your attitude, man; we need more people like you to balance all this negativity in this world. I'm using your two videos to install my free standing tub.
