Danco Company 88348 Flat Bath Shoe Gasket

Product Description

The DANCO COMPANY 88348 is a flat bath shoe gasket designed to create a watertight seal between a bathtub drain shoe and the tub floor. It sits at the interface where the drain assembly meets the tub surface, compressing to block water from migrating through the connection. Plumbers and drain service technicians install this gasket during drain replacements, tub refinishing projects, or any time the existing gasket shows cracking, compression set, or visible leaking. The part ships individually and is ready to install without modification.

This gasket is used in residential bathtub drain assemblies where the drain shoe connects to the tub floor. It is a direct-fit replacement suited for standard tub drain configurations found in new construction and retrofit applications. When a tub drain is pulled for cleaning, resealing, or replacement, the bath shoe gasket is a standard consumable that should be replaced to restore a proper seal.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber during drain shoe removal or tub drain service. Turn off water supply and ensure the drain area is dry before removing the old gasket and seating the replacement. Clean the mating surfaces on both the tub floor and the drain shoe flange to remove old sealant or debris before installing the new gasket. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for proper drain assembly practices.
