First, the reasons for the blockage of the bathtub drain:
1. The bathtub drain pipe does not fall vertically, there will generally be a section of horizontal pipe, and two more 90° elbows, and the hair and dirt generated during the bath are easy to gather here, and the pipeline will be blocked over time. Therefore, there will be access ports on the side of the bathtub in general, in order to solve the problem of water blockage in the future. Now the overall bathtub is okay, pull it out and clean it up and reinstall it, if it is with a skirt and does not leave an access opening, it will be a big trouble, and the skirt must be smashed for maintenance.
2. Hair sewer blockage: After a period of sewer use, rinsing hair usually hangs on the wall will lead to more congestion, accumulation, hair usually leads to toilet blockage floor drain, wash basin plug, bathtub plug, shower room block. Therefore, a cover is usually used for drainage caps and other protective equipment to a certain extent, if hair can be easily picked up and thrown away.

1, the cause of the bathtub blockage is mainly caused by the hair left in the bath, generally there is a cover at the drain in the bathtub, we can only dredge from the floor drain, you can go to the store to buy a spiral steel wire, from the floor drain while shaking and pushing down, until you feel a foreign object, and then gently shake while pulling up, so that the blocked dirt will be removed.
2, if the bathtub drain is not covered, it is more convenient, pay attention to acid do not use, one is to pollute the environment, secondly, the pipeline is too long to be eroded by acid and perforated, the trouble will be greater.
3. Put the fire alkali into the mouth of the sewer, and then pour boiling water into it.
4. Use special pipeline dredging agent, the main components are sodium hydroxide, oxidant, surfactant, etc., which has a dissolving effect on organic matter such as oil and hair, you can try it.
5. You can use thick rattan, rattan head nails ten mouths and eight inches of iron nails, one side extends into the other side to stir, the debris is loosened, and then poured with concentrated alkali solution, and then push the rattan out, operate many times, it will be dredged.
6. If you really can’t, you can only find professional personnel to help you.
As above is a detailed introduction to how to do the bathtub sewer blockage, in fact, the dredging of the bathtub sewer and the floor drain or toilet drain are similar, but in order to reduce the occurrence of bathtub sewer blockage in the bathroom, Xiaobian recommends that you must pay attention to the installation of the bathtub sewer structure, how to install the bathtub sewer structure? Let’s take a look at the following introduction:
How to install the bathtub drainage structure:
First, the introduction of the bathtub drainage structure:
The bathtub drainage structure is very convenient to clean, mainly some people have long hair, when washing, it is easiest to bring hair to the water, a long time will cause the sewer to be blocked for a day or two is always not visible, but for a long time, the knot is less into more, the long time is to feel that the sewer is blocked, when the cleaning is very troublesome, bouncing can effectively filter the impurities, hair on the bouncer, pick up at any time to clean up, prevent impurities from entering the sewer pipe, gambling plug, such as the place to wash hair, etc., and the shortcomings of bouncing are also obvious, short life, bouncer easy to damage.
Second, the installation method of the bathtub drainage structure:
1. Clean and remove any excess water in the sink, look at the sink drain assembly and ejection rod, use a pair of pliers to grasp the lock nut and loosen it, lock the sewer near the top of the nut, if the lock nut is loose, a little relaxed when assembling and swinging, there will be residual water overflow, return to the top sink and unscrew the ejection, remove the front ring, pop out from the bottom, you can prepare to install a new ejection.
2. Install a new drainage flange, clean the drainage hole of the old twisted seam or putty, the plumber’s putty completely surrounds the bottom of the chrome ring with a new flange on the top of the top, to be moderate, most importantly, the bottom should be covered, some components will be rubber pads or you can also use silicone sealant, but the plumber’s putty work is the most important.
3. Ready to assemble the bottom, put a pipe joint putty bottom rubber gasket assembly, this will ensure that you get a good seal at the bottom of the sink, sink through the bottom of the bottom to the rubber pad with a good seal, screw top flange into the bottom assembly, stick from the top of the sink, it does not need tension, most importantly, it is connected, not across threads, use a wrench or pliers, tighten the lock nut on the bottom assembly, ring and excess putty between the extruded surface sink, wipe clean with a clean rag.
4. Install the brake, stuff it into the top of the sewer to ensure that the hole face sinks behind, again, back to the bottom, the remaining plug unit consists of a ball and rod, nut inside the ball, threaded pipe, to ensure that the unit moves up and down through the pusher whether it is lost.
