Brass Craft 310-870 Tip Toe Bathtub Drain Conversion Kit

Product Description

The BRASS CRAFT SERVICE PARTS 310-870 is a tip toe bathtub drain conversion kit designed to replace or upgrade an existing bathtub drain stopper mechanism. Built from solid brass with a chrome finish, it provides lasting corrosion resistance in wet environments. The kit threads into a standard 1-1/2 inch drain opening and includes an additional bushing to adapt the thread to 1-3/4 inches where needed. It is installed by licensed plumbers or experienced service technicians during tub drain repairs or bathroom fixture upgrades. The complete package includes everything needed for a clean swap: an overflow face plate, mounting screws, and the tip toe drain mechanism itself.

This kit is suited for residential bathtub drain conversions where a tip toe actuation style is preferred over a trip lever or lift-and-turn stopper. It is a direct-fit replacement intended for standard residential bathtub drain assemblies. The included bushing expands compatibility to tubs with 1-3/4 inch threaded drain openings, making it useful across a wider range of install scenarios. For a future stopper replacement on this kit, use part number TV 176-183.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Before beginning, shut off water supply to the tub and confirm the existing drain flange thread size to determine whether the included bushing is required. Follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for drain fitting installation. Do not overtighten the drain flange or overflow cover plate, as solid brass threads can be damaged by excessive torque.
