A tub drain works by allowing water to flow out of the tub through a pipe connected to a drain opening. The key components involved in its operation include the drain stopper, drain flange, drain pipe, trap, and vent. The drain stopper controls the flow of water, the drain flange secures the drain in place, the drain pipe carries water away, the trap prevents sewer gases from entering the tub, and the vent allows air to enter the drain system for proper drainage.
