Replacing an old clawfoot tub faucet and tub drain.
This one below was a little old.
The owner had picked up a new drain and new faucet with shutoffs at the floor.
The first thing is to shut off the water to the home and remove the old one.
This one had copper 1/2" Male adapters. Normally with older installs, you will find galvanized pipe nipples through the flooring.
The slip joint nut is at floor level for the drain.
Either tape or pipe dope the threads and tighten the new stops on. These supplies from Sign of the Crab came with rubber cone washers and friction rings.
The threaded portion of the tub drain needs thread sealant before installaton.
So unthread the ends, apply the thread sealant, and reassemble.
