Daft Question Alert. Twin Wastes on a Bath

[maverick54]

Sorry guys but what exactly are twin wastes on a bath? Seen a bath advertise with these specs.

Now I'm used to baths with one drain plug and one waste trap but if a new bath has 2 wastes does this mean 2 plug holes and 2 waste traps under the bath are required?

Just looked and these appear on walk in baths so are for speed of emptying so you can open the door to get out

As Gsmk1, seems to only be on some walk in baths, they may be in larger normal baths.

Yes 2 holes and traps.
Install instructions say either join both at a collector, (eg 50mm waste) or just join together, presumably they've been tested and found not to overcome a single 40mm pipe due to the restrictions at the bath wastes.

2 holes visible in below pic

Thanks Guys, it is indeed a walk in bath I was viewing. Due to the wife's health needs I have got to remove our existing bath and replace it with one of these so she can get into the bath.

So it would be ok to connect the 2 traps together via a T-Piece or yolk so I only have 1 pipe exiting the house ?

It won't be used as a bath as I already have a shower over the existing bath.
