tub drain

Bathwater escape route

A tub drain is the opening at the bottom of a bathtub through which water exits, along with the mechanism that controls it.

Most tub drains have a stopper—operated by a lever, push button, or lift-and-turn knob—that blocks water for bathing or releases it afterward.

The tub drain is clogged with hair again.
