: Why do showers have to be drained with 2 inch, but tubs can be 1 1/2 inch.I've been told, : its because of more constant flow to shower,well i take a shower in my tub everyday! not only that : when the kids get out of the tub ,they sometimes wash quite the glob of sludge down that 1 1/2 inch drain : where the guest house(with shower only) doesn't get all the mud and squished grime that : comes with small children or in many cases pets! what gives I've got problems with understanding the madness also. A lot of things that in my opinion should be a standard size aren't I sometimes think it's to make us have to buy different size wrenches etc. or just to drive us crazy. Joe
