Oatey K826-65VB Bath Drain Trim Kit Trip Lever

Product Description

The OATEY K826-65VB is a trip lever bath drain trim kit finished in Venetian Bronze, designed for use in residential bathtub drain assemblies. This trim kit provides the visible hardware components of a trip lever drain system, including the overflow cover plate and lever mechanism that controls the drain stopper. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers or experienced tradespeople during new construction, remodel, or trim-out replacement work where the existing trim has worn or no longer matches the fixture finish.

The K826-65VB is suited for residential bathroom applications where a Venetian Bronze finish is specified to coordinate with faucet and fixture hardware. Trip lever drain systems are common in standard residential bathtubs and are often specified in remodel projects where only the trim components need replacement without disturbing the existing drain body or overflow tube. This kit is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• Venetian Bronze finish for coordination with matching bathroom fixture hardware
• Trip lever mechanism controls the drain stopper from the overflow faceplate
• Trim kit format allows replacement of visible components without full drain replacement
• Compact package dimensions of 8.86 inches x 4.92 inches x 2.9 inches
• Lightweight at 0.43 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as a trim kit replacement for residential bathtub trip lever drain assemblies. Verify rough-in drain body compatibility and overflow tube dimensions before installation, as trim kits are not universally interchangeable across all drain body manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber during bathroom remodel or fixture trim-out. Shut off water supply and ensure the tub is not in use before beginning work. The overflow cover plate secures to the existing overflow tube opening in the tub wall, and the trip lever linkage must be adjusted to properly seat and release the stopper. Consult local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for applicable installation requirements.
