Watco 601-FA-PVC-CP-2H Foot-Actuated PVC Bath Waste, Chrome-Plated

The Watco 601-FA-PVC-CP-2H is a foot-actuated bath waste and overflow assembly built on PVC tubular construction with a Chrome-Plated finish on the visible overflow and waste trim. Bath waste and overflow kits like this one connect a tub's drain and overflow openings to the tailpiece and trap below the floor, giving a plumber a complete rough-in-to-finish waste path in a single kit. The "FA" foot-actuated configuration lets the bather open and close the drain stopper with foot pressure rather than a lift-and-turn or trip-lever handle, and the PVC tubular body is a common choice behind the wall where lightweight, corrosion-resistant waste tubing simplifies handling and cutting to fit tub depth. This is a trade rough-in and finish component intended for installation by a plumber or contractor setting a bathtub waste line, not a decorative fixture chosen for its own sake.

Key Features

  • Foot-Actuated Stopper: The FA configuration opens and closes the tub drain with foot pressure, eliminating a separate trip-lever or lift-and-turn mechanism at the overflow plate.
  • PVC Tubular Construction: The waste and overflow tubing is PVC, a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material that is easy to cut and fit to the tub's waste and overflow openings during rough-in.
  • Chrome-Plated Finish: Visible trim components carry a Chrome-Plated finish for a clean appearance at the overflow plate and drain where the assembly is exposed inside the tub.
  • Complete Waste and Overflow Kit: Designed as a full waste-and-overflow assembly connecting the tub's overflow and drain openings down to the tailpiece for connection to the trap.
  • 601 Series Configuration: Part of Watco's 601 bath waste platform, identified by the model code 601-FA-PVC-CP-2H for the specific foot-actuated, PVC, chrome-plated build.

Technical Specifications

  • Model: 601-FA-PVC-CP-2H
  • Material: PVC tubular waste and overflow construction
  • Finish: Chrome-Plated trim
  • Stopper Actuation: Foot-Actuated (FA)

Typical Applications

  • Bathtub Rough-In and Waste Line Installation

  • Behind-the-Wall Tub Drain and Overflow Connection to the Trap

Why Watco?

Watco is a long-standing name in bath waste and overflow assemblies, and the 601-FA-PVC-CP-2H pairs a durable PVC tubular body with a Chrome-Plated finish for a clean, functional foot-actuated drain at the tub. For plumbers and contractors setting a bathtub waste line, a complete kit like this one simplifies the rough-in-to-finish connection between the tub, the overflow, and the trap below.

Watco 601-FA-PVC-BN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Watco 601-FA bath waste drain include, and what else do I need to finish the tub?
The 601-FA is a complete bath waste and overflow assembly: the overflow tubing and plate, the drain body with stopper, and the tubular waste run down to the tailpiece. It connects the tub's drain and overflow openings to the tailpiece so you can tie into the trap below the floor. The trap itself is not part of the kit, so plan on a P-trap and whatever tubular connection you need at the floor.
2) How does a foot-actuated tub drain differ from a lift-and-turn or trip-lever drain?
The FA in 601-FA means foot-actuated: the bather opens and closes the stopper by pressing on it with a foot, so there is no trip-lever handle or lift-and-turn knob to operate. That means no linkage inside the overflow tube to adjust or service, which is often why property managers pick it for turns. If your tenants expect a lever at the overflow plate, or the tub already has one and you want to keep the same look, a trip-lever style waste is the one to order instead.
3) Is the Watco 601-FA waste tubing PVC or brass, and does that matter behind the wall?
The tubular body on the 601-FA is PVC. It is lightweight, corrosion resistant, and cuts easily so you can trim the waste and overflow runs to the tub depth on site. Where a job spec or local code calls for brass tubular waste, PVC will not satisfy it, so check the drawing before you order.
4) What finishes does the Watco 601-FA foot-actuated bath waste come in?
Three: Chrome-Plated (601-FA-PVC-CP-2), Brushed Nickel (601-FA-PVC-BN), and Oil-Rubbed Bronze (601-FA-PVC-BZ). The finish applies to the visible trim, meaning the overflow plate and the drain at the tub floor, so match it to the tub filler and shower trim rather than to anything behind the wall.
5) Can I use the Watco 601-FA to replace an existing tub waste and overflow, or is it new construction only?
Both. The 601-FA is sold as a full rough-in-to-finish kit, and replacing an existing bath waste and overflow assembly is one of its stated applications along with new construction and remodels. On a replacement you still need access to the tub waste, either from below or through an access panel, because the overflow and drain connections are made behind the tub.
6) Which Watco part number do I order for a chrome foot-actuated PVC bath waste?
Chrome-Plated is 601-FA-PVC-CP-2. Read the code left to right: 601 series, FA for foot-actuated, PVC for the tubular material, and the last segment for finish (CP chrome, BN brushed nickel, BZ oil-rubbed bronze). Distributors quoting against a spec sheet should match all four segments, since the series alone covers several actuation and material builds.
7) Will a foot-actuated PVC bath waste work in a hotel or apartment bathroom with high turnover?
It suits that use for one specific reason: there is no trip lever or linkage at the overflow to loosen or fall out of adjustment, since the stopper is worked by foot pressure at the drain. Across a multi-family or hospitality property, standardizing on one 601-FA finish also means one replacement part for every tub. The trade-off is that PVC tubular waste is not a brass assembly, so if your facility standard calls out metal tubular, order to that standard.
