Bathtub Drain Rough in Plumbing Diagram
A tub with a shower overhead is still the go-to for a family bathroom, since it handles kids' bath time and a quick morning shower in the same footprint. ArcSite's bathtub drain rough in plumbing diagram marks where the drain outlet, valve, spout, and shower head land on the wall before the tub goes in.
Key Features
This bathtub drain rough in plumbing diagram includes:
- Tub outline against the back wall
- Drain outlet with a 12" locating dimension
- Tub water supply and spout at 22"
- Shower handle and valve centered on the wall
- Shower water supply at 80"
- Dashed centerlines through every fixture
The valve height isn't dimensioned, so set it with your customer before you rough in, since a tall homeowner and a kid-friendly tub want different heights.

Frequently asked questions
Does this diagram show the vent?
No. It covers the drain outlet and fixture locations on the tub wall. Add the trap arm and vent in ArcSite for a full rough-in.
Can I change the shower head height?
Absolutely. Edit the 80" dimension in ArcSite to match your customer's height.
Can I sketch the rough-in while I'm standing in the bathroom?
Sure can. Mark the drain and valve on your iPad or Android tablet at the tub wall, then finish the drawing on your Windows PC back at the shop.
