A walk-in tub improves accessibility, and its plumbing needs a bigger drain and a faster fill. Here is the Johnson City guide.
The fill
A walk-in tub fills faster through a high-flow valve, so the supply must keep up.
The drain
A larger, faster drain empties the tub quickly once the door opens.
The water heater
The large volume may require a bigger or second water heater to avoid running cold.
The call
Plan the fill and the drain together. Call 888-217-3585 and Johnson City Plumbing Experts will match you with a Johnson City pro.
