Watco 959290-WI Lift & Turn Trim Kit
The Watco 959290-WI Lift & Turn Trim Kit is a bathtub drain trim assembly designed to pair with Watco's below-the-floor drain and overflow plumbing. As a lift-and-turn style trim, the stopper is operated by twisting the drain cap to open and close the waste path, giving plumbers and contractors a reliable mechanical trim option for tub installations. This kit is supplied as the visible trim component that connects to the rough-in drain assembly already installed behind the wall or under the tub, and it is intended to be matched with the corresponding Watco drain body during finish-out.
Key Features
- Lift & Turn Operation: The stopper is opened and closed by lifting and rotating the cap, a common mechanical drain-control method used in tub trim kits.
- Trim Kit Format: Supplied as a finish-out trim component intended to complete a Watco drain and overflow rough-in assembly already set behind the wall.
- Model Reference: Identified under Watco model 959290-WI for accurate cross-reference when matching trim to an existing rough-in drain body.
- Professional Install: Designed for use by plumbers and contractors completing bathtub drain and overflow finish-out work rather than as a standalone consumer fixture.
Technical Specifications
- Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.
Typical Applications
- Bathtub Drain and Overflow Finish-Out

Watco 959290-WI – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes in the Watco 959290-WI lift and turn trim kit, and do I still need the drain body?
The 959290-WI is the finish-out trim only, the visible stopper and cap that mount to a drain and overflow rough-in already set behind the wall or under the tub. You need the matching Watco drain body in place first; this kit does not include it. Order it when you are trimming out a tub, not when you are plumbing the waste and overflow.
2) Can I use the Watco 959290-WI to replace a worn-out tub stopper without opening the wall?
Yes, that is the normal use for it. The 959290-WI replaces the visible lift and turn trim at the drain opening, so a stopper swap on an existing Watco drain and overflow is a finish-out job with no wall access needed. If the tub currently has a trip-lever faceplate and internal linkage, that is a different rough-in and a lift and turn cap is not a straight swap.
3) How does a lift and turn tub stopper work compared to a trip lever or toe-touch drain?
On a lift and turn like the Watco 959290-WI, you lift the cap slightly and rotate it to lock the stopper open or closed, so the control is at the drain itself with no linkage running up to an overflow faceplate. A trip lever instead uses a lever on the overflow plate and internal linkage, which is what you want if the tub is already prepped for face-plate operation. Toe-touch presses to toggle open and closed without the twist. All three are mechanical; the choice comes down to what your rough-in and the customer's habit call for.
4) What part number do I give my supplier for the Watco lift and turn tub trim kit?
Order by Watco model 959290-WI. It is a single-configuration part, lift and turn, with no finish or size options to specify, so the model number alone pins it down when you are matching trim to an installed Watco drain body.
5) Is this Watco trim kit suitable for commercial or multi-family bathtub work, or is it a residential part?
It is used in both. Watco lists the 959290-WI for residential and commercial bath rough-in, new construction tub installs, and remodel trim replacement, and it is sold as a professional trim-out part rather than a consumer-counter stopper. For property managers standardizing across units, matching every tub to one Watco drain body and this same lift and turn trim keeps replacements interchangeable.
