  • 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.

    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!

    Man, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I’m currently redoing my master bathroom in Florida and I was dreaming of a free standing tub but it would be impossible to have the look that I wanted without this video and without this Jacuzzi part! Thank you for you time and dedication to the channel! 💕

    THANK YOU !!! I am doing a bath remodel for a friend that just... evolved from a simple upgrade to a full blown custom masterpiece. Your video could precisely describe my job. Old tub deck, second floor, no access, etc. Travertine and ornate trim, tile everywhere. I do not want a leak or questionable connection. Perfect video for me, but also, you present it well. You're a good teacher.
    Happy now, thanks again.

    Fantastic video, been doing these for a while by cutting from below and plastering the ceiling of the downstairs room (usually the kitchen) this will make things so much simpler. you guys do make the coolest accessories to make the job easier. just bought a pipe cutter from amazon because I had never seen one before and it makes things so simple. great video thanks.

    Appreciate both the pro tips and the life suggestions. I worked for a GC 20 years ago that said something is stuck with me. He said “it’s just a lot more fun working with some people than others” I wish wished you and I worked in the same area. My jobs go well but I’m sure it would be a lot more fun working together. Keep up the good work!

  • @Therealhomeinspectionauthority

    Great video showing a better option for the drain instead of using the (slinky) flexible pipe that comes with the install kits. Note to anyone installing these tubs (never use the slinky pipe) , you can expect leaks or clogs in the future.

    @hugoperez9003 Před rokem

    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

    Nice, an identical product (I think by Oatey) has been in my Amazon wish list for a couple of years now. When I do my master bath I will convert to a freestanding tub and came across this awesome part. I didn't want to have to look for it so in my wish list it sits. Great video.

    I should have used this in my nieces home. Her house is long, single story home with just one trap door on one end of the house. The soaker tub of course is the opposite end. It’s like a maze crawling like army under multiple HVAC pipes and to my frustration, half full of cement for PVC was hard so asked my brother to bring a new can to me lol (I’m in 60’s). Gotta remember this tip!!!

  • @robertestrada434
    @robertestrada434 Před 4 lety

    Hi Tile Coach. I am installing a free standing tub and your video showing the Jacuzzi drain alignment kit probably saved my project. I was going to cut my pipe from tub to drain and do like you advise against in Part 2 by gluing and setting the tub and take my chances that the tub is aligned in the 30 seconds before the glue sets. I am going to order the Jacuzzi kit and sleep better. Thank you so much. I wish that I had seen this a month ago before the tile went in but I think it will still work.

Will be roughing in plumbing as well in the coming week so knowing to purchase this drain assembly for the tub in addition to my already purchased Kerdi pan, drain assembly for the shower is great. Haven't chosen my facet type stuff yet should I wait until I do to plumb rough in?

    Great video! I'm a DIYer but in my old age hired a licensed master plumber to remodel my bathrooms (including a free standing tub). He used his 2 sons as helpers. Five days into the project, $11K of jewelry disappeared - including wedding rings of 44 years, mother's ring, and anniversary ring. Discovered that both sons did prison time for burglary. Fired the contractor. We're traumatized. My wife cries when she thinks of it. Back to my DIY ways. I've never installed a free standing tub, but I'll learn. Thanks again for the video.
