OATEY 226-3 Dearborn® Full Kit, Brass Tubular - 17 Ga. Trip Lever Stopper with Chrome Finish Trim

The 226-3 trip lever waste and overflow kit fits most tubs with a 14 to 16 inch depth. Measure from the top of the overflow hole down to the drain outlet; if that falls in the 14 to 16 inch range, the brass tubular overflow tube on this kit will make up. Deeper soaking tubs need a longer overflow tube than this kit supplies.

It is a full kit, so the tubular waste and overflow assembly comes complete rather than as a trim-only set: brass tubular body, trip lever overflow faceplate and linkage with the stopper, chrome finish trim, and the foam rubber gasket for the overflow plate. You supply the trap and the tailpiece connection to the drain line.

Slip nut connections. That means the tubular joints are made up with slip nuts and washers, so you can rotate and adjust the assembly for alignment before you tighten, which is what makes this workable in a tight joist bay or a remodel where the rough-in is not exactly where you want it.

17-gauge brass is the heavier-wall tubular spec used in commercial and multi-family work, as opposed to thin-wall economy tubing. The whole kit weighs about 4.05 lb, most of that being the brass. For a property manager standardizing tubs across a building, this is the durable option compared with a plastic waste and overflow.

No. The 226-3 uses a one-hole faceplate, meaning a single opening for the trip lever with no separate overflow holes in the plate. If the tub currently has a two-hole or slotted overflow plate, the appearance will change, though the plate itself covers the tub's overflow opening and seals against it with the foam rubber gasket.

Trip lever is the right pick when the tub already has an overflow faceplate with a lever and you want to keep the same operation: the lever on the overflow plate raises and drops an internal stopper through linkage inside the tubular body. Lift-and-turn and toe-touch types operate at the drain shoe itself and use a blank overflow plate instead. Because the 226-3 is a full trip lever kit with the stopper and linkage included, it is the direct choice for replacing an existing lever-operated waste.

The exposed trim, the overflow faceplate and lever and the drain trim, is chrome finish, which is the common match for standard polished chrome tub spouts and shower trim. If you are replacing wastes across a set of units already running chrome, this keeps them consistent.
