Hello all,
I have read some people use silicone caulk to seal the top of the waste drain to the tub. To me that sounds kind of crazy. Wouldn't it be impossible to remove that waste drain without ruining the tub? I have seen some so called stainfree plumbers puttys. Do you plumbing pros use silicone or stainfree plumbers putty? I feel like if the tub manufacturer says to use silicone then you will have no warranty on the tub if you use plumbers putty, but I would much rather not glue the drain onto the tub with silicone.
Also why do we even need to seal the top part of the drain with anything when the bottom part has a rubber washer that is pressed against the bottom of the tub under pressure?
Thoughts?
