1 inch with a hole saw. Put this plate onto the bathtub with the same screws
that held the existing operational plate assembly and put the drain-cleaning
machine’s sewer wire head through the 1-inch hole to clean the stoppage without
disturbing the tubing of the bath waste’s overflow behind the bathtub.
