I recently installed a Gerber bath drain with a trip lever in a new bathtub, but I've been unable to adjust it so that the tub holds water without leakage. The other night I left about 40 gallons in the tub and the last of it drained out about 10-11 hours later. What's the trick?
BTW, yesterday I learned that the ABS drum trap for the tub is no longer approved so I removed it and decided to replace it with a P-trap while I had the downstairs ceiling open. Right now the bottom of the tailpiece is open and I can look up into it and at the underside of the plunger. Would having it accessible from below help in adjusting the plunger so the tub holds water?
