Description

Product Overview

The Westbrass 593244-62 bathtub waste drain kit is engineered to deliver a seamless, reliable drainage solution for modern bathrooms. Constructed from high‑grade brass and reinforced polypropylene, the kit combines durability with a refined matte black finish that complements a wide range of design aesthetics. Each component is precision‑machined to ensure a perfect fit within the standard 1‑1/2″ tub opening, eliminating the need for custom modifications. The kit includes a tubular tip‑toe assembly, a two‑hole overflow faceplate, and a complete set of PVC fittings—two‑hole elbow, drain shoe, and tee—providing everything required for a straightforward, leak‑free installation. The tip‑toe design features a foot‑operated stopper that opens and closes with a simple press, delivering hands‑free convenience while meeting ADA accessibility guidelines. Installation is simplified through the use of silicone sealant and a standard wrench, allowing both DIY enthusiasts and professional installers to achieve a secure, watertight connection in minutes.

Usage

This drain kit is ideal for a variety of residential bathroom applications, including new construction, remodels, and replacement projects. Whether you are updating a vintage bathtub or installing a contemporary freestanding tub, the matte black finish adds a subtle yet sophisticated contrast to white porcelain, stone, or acrylic surfaces. The ADA‑approved foot‑operated plug is especially beneficial for households with elderly occupants or individuals with limited hand mobility, as it allows the tub to be filled and emptied without the need to grasp a traditional lift‑and‑turn stopper. The heavy‑duty metal trim resists corrosion and maintains its appearance even in high‑humidity environments, making it suitable for both indoor and spa‑style bathroom settings. The included PVC fittings ensure compatibility with standard plumbing configurations, allowing the kit to be integrated into existing drain lines without extensive re‑routing.

FAQ

What size tub opening does this kit fit?

The kit is designed for a standard 1‑1/2″ bathtub waste opening, which is the most common size used in residential bathrooms across the United States.

Is the tip‑toe plug compatible with existing overflow plates?

Yes, the kit includes a two‑hole overflow faceplate with matching 1‑1/2″ screws, allowing it to replace most standard overflow plates without modification.

Can I install this kit myself, or do I need a plumber?

The kit is engineered for DIY installation. With the included silicone sealant and basic tools such as a wrench, most homeowners can complete the installation in under an hour. However, if you are unfamiliar with plumbing work, consulting a professional is recommended.

How does the foot‑operated stopper work?

Pressing the foot‑operated stopper with your foot opens the drain, allowing water to flow freely. Releasing pressure causes the stopper to close, sealing the tub and preventing water from escaping.

What maintenance is required to keep the drain functioning properly?

Regular cleaning of the stopper and occasional inspection of the silicone sealant will help maintain optimal performance. The brass components are designed to resist tarnish, but a gentle cleaning with a non‑abrasive cleaner can keep the finish looking new.
