Watco 01024-BN – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Watco 01024 overflow plate fit a 2-1/4 inch tub overflow opening?
That is exactly what the Watco 01024 is sized for: a 2-1/4 inch overflow opening, which is the common cutout on residential bathtubs. If the overflow hole in your tub measures something other than 2-1/4 inches, this cover is the wrong size and you need the matching trade size instead.
2) Can I replace just the overflow plate without pulling the whole tub waste assembly?
Yes. The 01024 is a standalone overflow cover plate, so on a service call or a finish upgrade you can swap the visible plate and leave the waste and overflow piping behind the tub in place. That is the usual reason to stock it on the truck.
3) Does the Watco 01024 include a stopper or the drain linkage?
No. It is the cover plate for the overflow opening only. The waste shoe, overflow tube, trip lever or lift linkage and the drain stopper are separate parts of the bath waste assembly. If the tub is being trimmed out from scratch, order the full Watco bath waste and overflow assembly and use the 01024 as the overflow cover on it.
4) What finishes does the Watco 01024 overflow cover come in?
Three: Brushed Nickel (01024-BN), Chrome-Plated (01024-CP), and Polished Brass (01024-PB). Pick the one that matches the tub spout, drain and stopper already on the fixture, since the overflow plate sits in plain sight on the tub wall.
5) I manage apartments with mixed tub trim. Will one of these cover plates match the rest of my bathrooms?
Likely, as long as the overflow holes are 2-1/4 inches. Brushed nickel, chrome and polished brass cover the three finishes you will find on most residential tub trim packages, so you can standardize on the 01024 across units and just order the finish each bathroom needs.
6) Is the Watco 01024 for new construction rough-in or only for repairs?
Both. It is used at trim-out on new tub installs, during remodels, and on service calls where the existing overflow plate is damaged, corroded or being changed to a different finish.
7) What does the tub overflow plate actually do?
It covers the overflow opening on the tub wall and hides the connection to the overflow tube behind the finished wall, while letting water escape into the waste line before the tub can spill over. On many tubs the plate also carries the trip lever that operates the stopper, so if your existing plate has a lever, confirm you are replacing like with like.
