Universal Tip-Toe Bathtub Drain & Overflow Conversion Kit (Matte Black)

Key Features

• Modern Matte Black Finish: Features a premium, multi-layer electroplated matte black coating that resists water spots, fingerprints, and corrosion, providing a sleek, contemporary upgrade to any bathroom aesthetic.
• Easy "Tip-Toe" Operation: Engineered with a heavy-duty internal spring mechanism that allows you to open or close the drain with a simple tap of your foot, eliminating the need for complex trip-lever linkages.
• Universal Dual-Thread Design: Includes a versatile brass adapter bushing that supports both fine thread (1-3/8" NPSM) and coarse thread (1-1/2" NPSM) drain elbows, ensuring compatibility with virtually all standard US plumbing.
• High-Durability Construction: Manufactured from solid brass and heavy-duty zinc alloys to withstand high-volume water flow and the mechanical stress of daily use without leaking or stripping.
• Complete Trim Restoration: This all-in-one kit includes the drain strainer, tip-toe stopper, thread adapter, and a matching two-hole overflow faceplate with screws for a fully unified hardware look.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• Mechanical Upgrades: Replaces outdated Trip Lever (linkage-style), Lift & Turn, Roller Ball, and Plunger style tub drains.
• Industry Standard Equivalents: Fits standard 1.5-inch bathtub plumbing systems.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with major drain brands including Watco, Kohler, Moen, Delta, and American Standard.
• Note: Specifically replaces Two-Hole overflow covers; for one-hole systems, an additional adapter plate may be required.

Compatibility & Fitment

This conversion kit is designed to be the final solution for bathtub hardware modernization. Key fitment details include:

• Drain Opening Size: Fits standard US bathtub drain openings with an internal diameter of 1.40 inches to 1.50 inches.
• Thread Pitch Options: Compatible with 16-thread-per-inch (Fine) and 11.5-thread-per-inch (Coarse) drain shoe elbows using the included adapter.
• Overflow Type: Fits standard Two-Hole overflow mounting brackets (2.0-inch screw spacing).
• Material Compatibility: Safe for installation in Cast Iron, Steel, and Acrylic/Fiberglass bathtubs.

When to Replace

• Stuck or Broken Trip Lever: If the handle on your overflow plate no longer operates the drain plug, converting to a tip-toe system eliminates the problematic internal linkage entirely.
• Leaking Drain Plug: The old stopper no longer holds a vacuum seal, causing the tub to drain slowly while you are bathing.
• Mismatched Hardware: You are upgrading your faucet and showerhead to matte black and need the drain and overflow to match the new design.
• Visible Corrosion: The original chrome or brass finish is pitted, rusted, or peeling, which can harbor bacteria and ruin the look of the tub.
• Cracked Overflow Gasket: If you see water leaking behind the tub during a high-fill bath, it's time to replace the overflow plate and inspect the seal.

Installation Tips

• Remove the Old Linkage: If you are replacing a trip-lever drain, be sure to pull the entire brass linkage assembly out of the overflow pipe before installing the new faceplate.
• Use Plumber's Putty (CRITICAL): Apply a generous ring of plumber's putty under the flange of the new drain strainer before screwing it into the pipe. This is the only way to ensure a 100% watertight seal against the tub floor.
• Verify Thread Type: Test-fit the drain by hand without the bushing first. If it’s loose, add the brass adapter bushing (coarse thread) to match your drain's elbow.
• Don't Overtighten: When installing the overflow faceplate, tighten the screws evenly. Overtightening can crack the overflow gasket behind the tub or strip the mounting bracket.
• The "Bucket Test": After installation, fill the tub and let it sit for 20 minutes to verify the stopper holds. Then, drain the tub to ensure there is no leaking under the bathtub floor.
