GS Design Center Freestanding Tub Drain Rough‑In Kit is a complete bathtub drain kit designed for freestanding, floor‑mounted, and island bathtubs. With a double‑layer embedded drain body, PVC adapter, and high‑strength brass tail pipes, this kit provides a stable, sealed connection that works on wood, cement, tile, and concrete floors.

Engineered as an embedded drainage system, this rough‑in kit installs between the structural subfloor and the finished surface, protecting the pipe connection and helping ensure long‑term sealing performance for your freestanding tub drain.

Key features
