    How do I install a tub drain and overflow in a concrete slab?
    My husband and I are having a hard time getting the tub drain and overflow to line up properly. The tread on the fittings are getting crossed all the time. We have to constantly replace the fittings. This is for a new concrete house. The plumbing is in the walls and concrete slab under the floor. Please help!

    I did not understand just where the nuts are trying to
    Cross thread, is it the part that goes throudh the bottom of the tub, or is it somewhere else?

    The nuts get cross threaded because you're attempting to force them to line up. Are you out of line or is the trap raiser cocked? If out of line how far? W#ha6t would it take to bring the fittings back in line? Let me know, Tom
