Gerber 41-550 Lift and Turn Waste Overflow Pvc Kit

Product Description

The GERBER 41-550 is a lift-and-turn waste and overflow drain assembly for residential bathtubs, supplied with PVC tubing and polished chrome trim. The kit handles both the drain stopper mechanism and the overflow cover in a single package, making it the standard choice for tub drain replacement and new installation work. The 1.5-inch PVC tubular construction keeps weight low and resists corrosion. Polished chrome trim delivers a clean, finished look at both the drain and overflow openings. Licensed plumbers install this assembly during tub rough-in or when replacing a failed or corroded existing drain set.

This drain kit is sized to fit most standard residential bathtubs with an overflow-to-drain center distance of 14 inches to 16 inches. The lift-and-turn stopper operates manually without internal linkage, reducing the number of moving parts subject to wear. The PVC tubing included in the kit eliminates the need to source separate drain line segments for most residential tub installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber and should follow applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and ensure the tub is drained before beginning removal of the existing drain assembly. Use a drain wrench or pliers with a rag to protect the finish when threading the drain flange. Do not overtighten PVC fittings; hand-tight plus a quarter turn is typically sufficient to seat compression joints without cracking the tubing.
