ABOUT BATHTUBS

A bathtub is a sanitary fitting, usually with a full-length tub and an edge roll round the rim. Domestic baths are made from cast acrylic sheet, cast iron, or steel sheet. Fittings include a mixer faucet or headworks, and a waste with overflow. Bath bottoms have a slight fall towards the outlet, when the rim is set level.
