Watco 500-FA-PVC-CP Foot Actuator Bath Drain, PVC Body, Chrome-Plated

The Watco 500-FA-PVC-CP is a foot-actuated bath waste drain assembly built with a PVC drain body and finished in chrome-plated trim. Designed for installation behind and beneath the tub, this foot actuator mechanism lets the user open and close the drain stopper by pressing a toe-touch plunger, eliminating the need for a lift-and-turn or trip-lever handle at the overflow. The PVC construction of the tubular waste components is intended for standard rough-in bath drain and overflow connections, while the chrome-plated finish is used on the visible trim surfaces that remain exposed inside the tub after installation. This part is supplied for use by licensed plumbers and contractors completing tub waste and overflow rough-in and trim work, and it is intended to pair with Watco's compatible bath waste system components.

Key Features

  • Foot Actuator Operation: The stopper is opened and closed with a simple foot-press action at the drain, rather than a separate handle at the overflow plate.
  • PVC Drain Body: The tubular waste and drain body components are manufactured from PVC, a lightweight, corrosion-resistant plumbing material commonly used in tub waste assemblies.
  • Chrome-Plated Trim: Visible trim surfaces carry a chrome-plated finish for a consistent appearance where the assembly is exposed inside the tub.
  • Designed for Rough-In Integration: The assembly is intended to be installed as part of a complete bath waste and overflow rough-in, connecting to the tub drain and overflow openings.
  • Trade-Style Configuration: The foot-actuator style (FA) is one of several actuation styles Watco offers within its bath waste product line, allowing contractors to match the specified operating mechanism for a given job.

Watco 500-FA-PVC-CP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the stopper work on the Watco 500-FA-PVC-CP bath drain?
It's a foot actuator, or toe-touch, waste. You press the plunger at the drain with your foot to open and close the stopper, so there's no lift-and-turn stopper or trip-lever handle at the overflow plate. The overflow plate on this style is just a cover.
2) Is the Watco 500-FA drain body plastic or metal?
The drain body and tubular waste components are PVC. The chrome-plated finish is on the visible trim that stays exposed inside the tub, so you get a metal-look stopper and overflow face with a plastic waste behind the wall. If a job spec calls for a brass tubular waste, this PVC version won't satisfy it.
3) Can I use the 500-FA-PVC-CP to convert an existing trip-lever tub drain to toe-touch?
Yes, replacing an existing actuator assembly is one of its intended uses. Going from a trip lever to this foot actuator means the linkage and the plunger inside the overflow come out and get replaced with the toe-touch waste, and the old overflow plate is swapped for the cover that suits this style. You need access to the waste and overflow behind the tub to do it.
4) Does the 500-FA-PVC-CP include everything needed for a tub waste and overflow rough-in?
It's supplied as a bath waste assembly intended to be installed as part of a complete waste and overflow rough-in, connecting to both the tub drain and the overflow openings. It is not the tub trap or the branch drain line, so the P-trap and the piping to the stack are separate. Watco's own bath waste system components are what it's meant to pair with.
5) Which Watco part number is the chrome foot actuator bath waste?
Model and MPN are both 500-FA-PVC-CP: 500 series bath waste, FA for foot actuator, PVC body, CP for chrome-plated trim. Watco uses the same code pattern for other actuation styles in the 500 line, so the FA in the middle is the piece that identifies the toe-touch version.
6) Should I pick a foot actuator tub drain or a lift-and-turn for a rental unit?
A foot actuator is the easier one for tenants, since the stopper operates with a toe press and nothing has to be gripped or twisted. The tradeoff is that the moving mechanism sits in the drain where hair and soap collect, and service means pulling the head. Lift-and-turn and trip-lever styles put the wear elsewhere. Watco offers several actuation styles within the 500 bath waste line, so you can standardize a building on whichever one your maintenance crew prefers to stock.
7) Is this foot actuator drain for a bathtub or can it go in a shower?
It's a bath waste. The assembly connects to a tub's drain and overflow openings, and a shower base has no overflow, so there's nothing for the actuator side of this unit to mount to. For a shower you want a shower drain body, not a bath waste and overflow.
8) Will the chrome trim on this Watco foot actuator match other chrome tub and shower fittings?
The exposed trim is chrome-plated, which is the standard polished chrome most tub spouts and shower trim are finished in. The stopper head and overflow cover are what remain visible inside the tub after install; everything else is PVC behind the wall and never seen.
