I'm replacing a tub that has no overflow drain.  Does the UPC require that a tub have an overflow drain?
 
Thanks!

I asked a California plumber and here's his answer, 
 an overflow is not required on a bath tub per code. You can block off the overflow if you so desire but as a safety feature to prevent the tub from overflowing accidentally this is of course not a good idea.
We have UPC plumbers on this page that might like to chime in.  Milo, Mygirlsdad ?  Where are you?  Regards, Tom
