Dorence Antique Brass Bathtub Drain Replacement Parts - Lift and Turn to Drain Plug - Single Hole, Brass Construction, Universal Fit for 1 3/8" or 1 1/2" Drains - Overflow Drain Conversion Kit

This drain was easy to install and looks great. Seems to be reasonably high quality. The stopper does sit a bit high, but I don't think that's a huge problem. The previous drain was corroded after 13 years, likely because the tub's poor drain design allowed water to pool around it. Hopefully this one will hold up well if I remember to remove residual water.

Really quick delivery and installation was simple. I used it for a new tub installation but it is the same process if you are updating your existing drain and overflow. Looks great and seems very durable.

The price was low, and I got what I paid for. I wish I had read the other reviews in more detail. It does work well, at least when new. Nice solid billet feel and the finish on the brass looks good, but many details are a bit off.The overflow cover’s visible screw is flat-headed, should be oval. When open, the stopper sits quite high and a bit crooked. It does drain very quickly with all that open area, but even large rings will likely slide right past it and disappear. The o-ring on the stopper feels very cheap, and I suppose I will be replacing it soon.

My design idea was classic industrial chic - a mix of both feminine and masculine pieces. I love it! These are a perfect match to the other sink and tub fixtures. Highly recommend!

I bought a new home. The master tub drain was rusted and a magnet for my wife's hair. I needed to replace the drain in part so I could snake out the bottom one time to make sure I'd gotten everything, and partially so I could install something less rusted so when I install drain covers they won't just pick up the rust and rot away instantly. This kit did the job.Pros:Looks great. My nickel finish was perfect.Has the adapter. My home (1960s) has the old-style pipes that need the adapter. This kit fit perfectly.Installed perfectly on the first try. Everything fits.Drain plug and support can be screwed out if you're like me and you really just want to install a hair-catcher to keep your wife's hair from causing a larger job.So far the function is 100% perfect.Cons:Drain plug doesn't rest very solidly. The drain plug does just float and when you want it up you sort of spin it until you find a spot for it to rest. That's fine for my needs, as 90% of the time I'm going to leave that part off so I can install a hair catcher. It did properly stop water when it was down though, so for my needs, that's great. My wife will pull out the plug once every few months when she wants a bath. But if you intend to leave the drain plug installed I imagine you'll occasionally knock it with your foot so it stops draining. Not a big annoyance for me.Overall:Totally satisfied. This kit allowed me to remove the old plunger-style mechanism that wasn't working anyway, and replace it with something that works much better.

it was so hard to find a new drain set up for our tub that had a smaller drain hole than we could find in any of the big chain or smaller hardware stores! Everyone sells only the wide hole ones so we were very happy when we found this one that accommodates both size drain holes in a tub as there is an outer brass sleeve (adapter) that comes with this unit and we removed that and were able to simply screw this one right into place! It also comes with the solid cover for the old handle lift up drain part that we also would have had to replace since putting this type of drain now in place of the old thing. It is also a very heavy, good quality piece. Very happy!

One star off for casting flash, see below.If you have an older bath drain this may be what you need. I removed an old drain from an early '60's vintage house, the old drain is on the right in the picture. It is 16 threads per inch and was installed with the brass adapter below it, which is 16 tpi both on the ID and OD. Difficult to remove and separate because of corrosion. The old drain is 7/8" deep, the one described here is 1-1/4" deep but that wasn't a problem. I was able to clean and reuse the old adapter, but this time used Teflon tape thread sealant. Note, more modern drains are 14 threads per inch and incompatible with this drain.I took one star off because the standard dumbbell wrench wouldn't fit in until I filed casting flash from the ID at the bottom of the drain where the "cross" is. Otherwise the fit, finish, appearance and quality are fine and it functions as advertised. You may need an adapter, available in brass and probably polypropylene. Again it is difficult to find exactly what you need. I heated the old drain then dropped it in PB Blaster to soak overnight, then wrapped an old leather belt around the outside of the old adapter and hung a pipe wrench on it.The bathtub drain thing is confusing for DIY'ers. If you have plastic drain pipe this is probably not the drain you need.

I was a little anxious to give this a try never having replaced one before, but the whole thing was very easy. Installed easily and functions as advertised. Would buy it again.

Won't completely prevent water from draining.

I liked this product , looks fantastic great quality

The only issue with this product is that the water doesn't completely drain out of the surrounding ring so when it's shower/bath clean day there is a build up. I'm still very pleased with the quality of the product.
