Drain and Overflow – MTI offers a variety of waste and overflow kits. A direct connect toe tap drain kit comes standard with tub models that include an integrated overflow. For other freestanding models, we recommend using our low-profile cable driven drain kit. The flexible neck makes this an ideal choice as a concealed drain.

Tubs With Direct Tee Drain MTI Recommends using clear 100% silicone sealant. Do Not use plumber’s putty. Tub models with direct-tee toe tap drain kits are designed to install with tub drain aligned directly above drain pipe. Rough-in waste pipe from center of drain to top outside edge of tub.

Tubs with Integrated Overflow require only waste installation Thread the PVC drain fitting onto the waste flange. MTI recommends using a small amount of clear silicone on the threads of the PVC drain fitting to act as a thread sealant. Tighten until it seats, plus one quarter turn.
