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  • Mechanical Upgrades: Replaces outdated Trip Lever (linkage-style), Lift & Turn, Roller Ball, and Plunger style tub drains.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.

FAQ

This kit is intended for standard bathtub drains with an opening of about 1.40 in. to 1.50 in. It is designed as a universal trim-style replacement for many tubs that use a two-hole overflow faceplate and a threaded drain shoe opening. Because tubs can vary, the most important checks are the drain opening size, whether your overflow uses a two-screw plate, and whether your existing drain accepts fine- or coarse-thread components.
Yes. Universal conversion kits in this style are commonly used to convert or replace several common bathtub drain styles, including lift-and-turn, tip-toe, and many trip-lever drain trim setups. The included tip-toe stopper and conversion hardware are meant to simplify switching to a push-to-close, push-to-open drain style, as long as your tub uses a compatible standard drain shoe and a two-hole overflow plate.
Yes. This style of universal tub trim kit is made to fit both fine-thread and coarse-thread drain configurations using the included conversion hardware. That is helpful when the original tub drain thread type is unknown or different from the replacement stopper assembly.
Common signs include a stopper that will not seal, a drain cap that wobbles or will not thread in securely, missing or corroded overflow trim, or an older lift-and-turn or trip-lever assembly you want to replace with a simpler tip-toe style. It can also help when the original stopper hardware is stripped, mismatched, or difficult to operate.
Installation is usually a moderate DIY job. In many cases, you will need a screwdriver for the two-hole overflow plate, pliers or a tub drain removal tool for the old drain flange, and plumber's putty or the sealing material specified for the drain flange. If the old drain is badly corroded or stuck, removal can take longer than the actual install. A straightforward replacement often takes about 20 to 45 minutes.
Before installation, confirm the tub drain opening is within the 1.40 in. to 1.50 in. range, verify that your overflow uses a two-hole faceplate, and inspect the drain shoe threads for damage or heavy corrosion. It is also a good idea to clean away old putty, debris, and mineral buildup so the new drain flange and stopper assembly can seat properly and seal well.
The most common causes are thread wear, corrosion, soap and hair buildup, hard-water mineral deposits, and damage from repeated removal or overtightening. Overflow plates can also loosen over time, and older trip-lever parts may become unreliable internally, which is one reason many homeowners switch to a simpler tip-toe conversion kit.
