It's a llittle unclear if this goes on top of the old drain, or one has to be taken out first?

We have an old cast-iron, clawfoot, free-standing bathtub with all of the old fixtures, including the drain. This drain cover sits perfectly on top. We didn't have to remove or alter anything at all. The black edge you see is sturdy rubber that holds the cover in place pretty well -- obviously not if you bump it, but it doesn't budge with flowing water.

This just sits on top of the existing drain opening and acts as an outer filter.

Even though this item is slightly domed, if you have a pop up stopper for your drain, this might not fit. The drain opening in my tub is just an open hole, with nothing to prevent hair from going down it, so it works perfectly in that situation.

I agree with Minos. My drain is flush with the tub and is just a big giant hole that allows everything to go down it (like this http://pix.soundwag.com/web/drain.jpg). This sits right on top. There is a slight curve to this, and it sits curve side up. If you have the type of drain that also acts as the stopper and sticks up into the tub (like this http://s2.hubimg.com/u/5464035_f248.jpg), this will not work on that.

It goes over the tub drain to filter debris. Then when you're done, it slides right off.

I use it under the drain cover. We have a beveled area, 3 inches in diameter, which connects to the drain pipe. This fits in with a little room to spare, and the nicer drain cover screws down over it. Still have to pull it out every couple weeks to clean off, but better than the really fine mesh baskets which clog up too easily.

You take out the stopper & lay this over the bath tub drain opening. I have one for all my tubs & they all fit snugly over the drain. There is a model that fits over the stopper. That model has suction cups to secure it. I've purchased that model & prefer this one. It's easy to clean & is rust free.

It's just a flat disk that sits on top of the drain, so...I guess it depends on whether your existing hardware sticks up a lot or is more flush with the bottom of the tub.

The drain on mine is on the end, right at the bottom on the filler side.jeff

Funny you should ask today...we are just installing it this afternoon. We actually do not have a disposal. I am sure it would be standard to instll it to the drain just fine. It is a very nice sink and we are happy with the purchase. Looks awesome.

It's on the back along the right edge (if you're looking at the unit from the back) about midway up. It is recessed and the flexible drain tube could probably be curved to facilitate running the drain tube down the back or the side. I use the reservoir instead of the drainage tube since it's front loaded and easy to access. I've been very happy with these units.

Yes. One is a regular drain and the other is a basket type drain in case you install a disposal. I can't have a disposal either.

I don't understand the question very much. But for I can see, maybe you need to vent the drain line?

It's attached to a slip out tray which should be directed into a sink from any position. Should be placed near sink for adequate drainage.

No. I removed the pop up stopper. You can just unscrew it and place this shower drain instead.

There is an overflow/drainage hole just below the top plate which takes care of extra wTee. No need to leaves faucets or hose open

No - that is how I installed mine. Just make sure you have enough clearance beneath the drain board.

Instead of removing you can drain the backflow preventer. In my opinion, it was easier to remove than drain.

Most likely. Most garbage disposals will have their drain in a similar location. BUT without seeing them both, I can't say for sure. If worse comes to worse, it may need to be modified

I agree with the other two responses. The drain goes in like any other drain. I am on about my third installation, though, because the first two had the support that holds the popup rot off after a couple years use each. I almost gave up on the pop-up and just went with an open drain, but the third one seems to be holding up so far.

there is a drain spigot under the unit. There is a front spigot near the bottom on the front. And there are two overflow protrusions at the back

My husband says that yes it does matter. He says all this is covered in the directions. So, please take a few minutes and peruse the directions included with the disposal.

The disposal side has a different drain cover It comes with its own cover. You only need this for the other sink(the one that does not have the disposal.

It's quite heavy when it is full of water, so I use the drain. Plus, it's easier to remove my child once the water has drained out a bit. Once it has drained down I do turn it over to dry.
