OATEY K27BN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I change a tub drain trim and stopper without opening the wall or replacing the rough-in?
That is exactly what the Oatey Dearborn K27BN conversion kit is for. It swaps the visible bath waste and overflow trim and the stopper style while the rough-in piping stays in place, so there is no wall access or drain body replacement involved. You get a one-hole overflow faceplate, a Uni-Lift (lift and turn) stopper, brass drain spud, drain gasket, a 1-1/2 inch bushing, and the mounting hardware.
2) Is the K27BN a one-hole or two-hole overflow faceplate?
One hole. The K27BN converts the overflow to a 1-hole faceplate paired with a Uni-Lift stopper, which means the trip lever linkage is no longer used. If the tub currently has a trip-lever (two-hole) plate and an internal plunger or pop-up linkage, this kit changes the way the drain is operated, not just the finish.
3) How does a Uni-Lift stopper work compared to a trip-lever tub drain?
A Uni-Lift is a lift and turn stopper: you operate it by hand at the drain itself, lifting and twisting to open or seal. A trip-lever setup works off a lever on the overflow plate driving an internal linkage. If you are tired of chasing a sticking or corroded linkage in a rental unit, converting to the lift and turn style with the K27BN removes that mechanism from the equation. If tenants expect a toe-touch or a lever at the overflow, pick a different conversion style.
4) Will the K27BN brushed nickel match the other bath trim in my units?
The trim is finished in brushed nickel, so it reads with brushed nickel faucets and shower trim rather than polished chrome. For multi-family standardization, Dearborn conversion kits come in other finishes, so a property can keep one stopper style across units and still match the finish on each bathroom.
5) What does the 1-1/2 inch bushing in the Oatey K27BN kit do?
The bushing lets the brass drain spud thread into a 1-1/2 inch tub shoe connection instead of the larger standard thread. Bath shoes are not all tapped the same, so the bushing covers the smaller of the two common sizes without needing a second part.
6) Is the drain spud on the K27BN brass or plastic?
Brass. The drain spud is brass, which is what you want where the stopper is being threaded in and out by hand over time in a rental or hospitality bathroom. The sealing gasket behind it is foam rubber.
7) What part number should I order for the brushed nickel one-hole lift and turn Dearborn conversion kit?
Order Oatey part K27BN. It is the Dearborn branded conversion kit with the one-hole overflow faceplate and Uni-Lift stopper in brushed nickel, supplied on a hanging blister card for counter or shelf display.
