Bathtub Overflow Plates

Bathtub overflow plates are essential components in plumbing systems designed to prevent water from overflowing the bathtub. They are typically installed on the side of the tub, just below the rim, and connect to the overflow drain. This setup allows excess water to flow out of the tub and into the drainage system, reducing the risk of water damage. Overflow plates come in various designs and finishes to match bathroom decor and can include features such as a trip lever for controlling the tub's drain stopper. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial to ensure their effectiveness in preventing overflows.
