Watco 500-LT-PVC Lift & Turn PVC Bath Waste and Overflow, Chrome or Brushed Nickel

Watco 500-LT-PVC Lift & Turn Bath Waste, PVC Tubular Drain with Chrome-Plated Trim

The Watco 500-LT-PVC Lift & Turn Bath Waste is a tubular bathtub drain and overflow assembly built around a PVC waste body with a chrome-plated (CP) lift-and-turn stopper mechanism. It is designed for plumbers and contractors installing or replacing tub drain systems where a durable, non-metallic tubular waste line is preferred behind the wall, paired with a finished chrome trim at the tub opening. This item is offered across the Watco 500-LT-PVC family in two waste configurations — Bath and Bwst (bath waste) — so installers can select the exact assembly needed for the rough-in while keeping the same lift-and-turn drain mechanism, PVC tubular body, and chrome-plated trim consistent across both options. The lift-and-turn configuration allows the user to open and close the drain by rotating the stopper cap, eliminating the need for a separate trip lever or external linkage, which simplifies rough-in and keeps the mechanism self-contained within the drain body itself.

Key Features

• Drain Type: Lift & Turn stopper mechanism integrated directly into the tub waste body for simple open/close operation without an external trip lever.
• Tubular Waste Construction: PVC tubular waste body resists corrosion common to metallic tubular assemblies in wet, behind-the-wall bathtub drain applications.
• Finish: Chrome-plated (CP) stopper and visible trim components provide a finished appearance at the tub opening while the waste tube itself remains concealed.
• Complete Bath Waste Assembly: Designed as a full tub drain and overflow waste kit for connecting the tub drain to the trap and DWV (drain-waste-vent) piping.
• Configuration Options: Available as Bath or Bwst (bath waste) type selections, letting installers match the exact assembly configuration to the rough-in while retaining the same PVC body and chrome-plated lift-and-turn trim.
• Contractor-Grade Install: Suited for new construction or replacement of an existing tub waste and overflow where a PVC tubular body is specified over cast brass or chrome-plated brass alternatives.

Why Watco?

Watco bath waste assemblies pair a functional tubular drain body with a finished chrome-plated trim, giving plumbers and contractors a complete lift-and-turn drain solution in a single kit, available in Bath and Bwst configurations to match the rough-in. The PVC tubular construction offers an alternative to metallic waste tubes for installers who prefer a non-metallic drain line behind the tub, while the chrome-plated lift-and-turn stopper delivers the visible, operable component at the tub opening. Choosing Watco for tub waste and overflow rough-in keeps the drain mechanism and tubular waste body matched from a single manufacturer across both configuration options.
