Flexible bath waste for deep tubs
The Watco Innovator CableFlex 948 is a Schedule 40 PVC bath waste assembly designed for bathtubs up to 36 in. deep. Its 48 in. flexible tubing replaces a rigid overflow pipe and bends to correct misalignment between the drain pipe and the overflow hole without kinking. The transparent finish allows visual inspection of flow. It suits plumbers and homeowners installing or repairing waste systems where access behind the wall is limited.
Thermals noise and power
This is a passive plumbing component with no moving parts, electrical supply or active cooling. It produces no operational noise and draws no power. The Schedule 40 PVC construction handles normal hot-water discharge temperatures without deformation. No thermal management or acoustic considerations apply to the product in normal use.
Repairable design and accessories
The assembly includes a 15 in. Schedule 40 PVC pipe with solvent-weld connections and a nickel-finished trim. The self-centering, self-aligning mechanism allows the entire unit to be serviced from inside the bathtub, eliminating the need for an access panel behind the wall. Flexible tubing prevents leaks caused by rigid-pipe stress at misaligned joints. No software or electronic accessories are included.

Questions about this item
How do you install the Watco Innovator CableFlex 948 and what is the step people get wrong?
Solvent-weld the 15 in. Schedule 40 PVC pipe, then bend the 48 in. flexible tubing to align with the overflow hole; the common error is kinking the tubing instead of making a smooth curve.
What maintenance or replacement will the Watco Innovator CableFlex 948 need later?
The mechanism is fully repairable from inside the tub without an access panel; replace internal seals or the cable assembly if drainage slows or leaks appear.
What limit shows up first on the Watco Innovator CableFlex 948 under sustained use?
The flexible tubing fits bathtubs up to 36 in. deep; exceeding that depth prevents proper overflow alignment and risks leaks behind the wall.
