DC500-60 Cable Drain Assembly for Safety Tubs & American Standard Walk-In Tubs
Restore smooth, dependable drain operation with the DC500-60 Cable Drain Assembly, a premium replacement designed for many Safety Tubs, American Standard Walk-In Tubs, and other walk-in bathtub systems using cable-operated drains. This complete drain and overflow assembly replaces worn, leaking, or damaged drain mechanisms, restoring proper sealing and smooth operation without replacing the entire tub.
The OEM DC500-60 assembly is one of the most common replacement cable drain systems used in walk-in tubs. Over time, internal cables wear, drain stoppers stop sealing, and overflow components can begin leaking. Replacing the complete assembly is often the most dependable long-term repair.
