Bathtub drains are operated either by a cable or by a lift rod, and are specified without an overflow outlet. AERLO supplies both types in stainless steel and brass.
Types
| Type | How it works | Where it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Cable operated (线控) | A concealed cable connects the waste to a control knob on the bath rim or wall | Freestanding and built-in baths where no rod is wanted; clean look at the tap |
| Lift rod operated (提拉) | A rod behind or beside the tap raises and lowers the stopper | Standard baths with a drilled overflow or tap ledge |

Choosing the Right Bath Waste
- Confirm the overflow arrangement — this product is specified without an overflow outlet; if the bath requires an overflow, tell us so the correct fitting is quoted
- Cable or rod — cable operation gives a cleaner tap deck and suits freestanding baths; lift rod suits conventional baths already drilled for a rod
- Bath material and thickness — affects the sealing arrangement at the waste outlet
- Access for maintenance — confirm the waste can be reached from the bath side or an access panel
- Material match — brass where the waste is visible against brass tapware; stainless steel for brushed and chrome schemes
Where They Are Used
| Application | Typical choice |
|---|---|
| Residential bathrooms | Lift rod or cable, matching the tap finish |
| Hotel guest bathrooms | Standardised across rooms for one maintenance procedure |
| Freestanding baths | Cable operated — no rod visible at the tap |
| Serviced apartments | Robust operation and easy maintenance access |
Installation Notes
- Confirm the bath waste outlet size and the pipe connection before ordering
- For cable operation, plan the cable route before the bath is set in place — it must run without tight bends
- Seal the waste to the bath with the washer supplied; hand-tighten to avoid cracking acrylic or enamel
- Test the operation and check for weeping at the waste and the trap before final fixing
