What is a Standard Overflow and Tub Waste? The tub waste is the bath drain on the floor that empties the tub. The overflow is a hole placed higher up along the wall of the tub and plumbed to the tub waste pipes. It is designed to gradually lower the water level, without opening the tub waste drain, to give displaced water an escape channel before it can reach the tub's edge.

What makes your bathroom work perfectly? The right waste and overflow systems. To ensure that the water in the washbasin, bath and shower trays drains quickly and easily, you need drainage products that you can rely on one hundred percent. A bath waste and overflow system is a critical plumbing component that connects your bathtub to your household drain line.
It prevents accidental overflows and ensures efficient drainage by combining the tub's primary drain and an overflow outlet into a single system. A 54" bathtub ALWAYS costs more than a 60", sometimes by a little and often by a lot, so using the larger tub would be cost effective, especially since you would not have to do a lot of construction to make the smaller one work. These days the openings on bathtubs are "standardized" so any waste and overflow will work.
I think thats what I said. I measured the holes in the American Standard Cambridge tub that I will be installing. Overflow hole: 2-7/16 inch diameter.
Waste hole: 2-1/8 inch diameter. Are the diameter of these holes standard sizes? IOW, do all tubs have the same size holes? 42mm waste pipe size for bath yes it is easier to just buy a new overflow kit with trap for the waste connections, the actual bath hole will be 50mm sizing down to 42mm within the trap of the bath waste.
The waste that fits into your 'plug' will be nearly the same size as the hole. This will be so you can seal it to the bath. The thread under the waste that your trap screws onto will seal up onto the bath and then accept the trap which connects the 1.5" waste.
You just need to ask fot a bath waste set. The overflow will be approx 3/4" pipe.
