I have put 80 Oz of liquid plumr gel in the tub train and flows good. The water flows slow. There is no place to try the snake to open the lines. What is the recommended next action?
Any help will be appreciated.

Good morning, Over the years hair and grease in a tub can drain build up into a clog. I don't have much faith in using harsh chemicals like Draino or Liquid Plumber. I have found that snaking them out is the only sure way of removing a clog. Having said that let me tell you how to go about it. To snake out a tub clog. If you don't have a power snake you can rent one from a rent all company. Use a auger tip on the cable.Remove the two screws on the plate with the lever. Pull out and up to get the plug and linkage out. Then run your snake down the open hole. You will hit the bottom of the trap about 18" in and come up against some resistance, work it on past. The tub drain pipe shouldn't be too long,6 to 8 feet so you shoudn't have to run out too much snake. After you snake the drain , flush it down with a pan of boiling water, and If there's a odor from the drain pour 1/2 gallon of bleach down the drain and let it set overnight. That should put your tub back in business. Hope this helps and thank you for rating my reply. Tom
