Oatey PP8261 Trip Lever Face Plate Chrome

Product Description

The OATEY PP8261 is a chrome trip lever style face plate designed for bathtub drain assemblies. It provides the visible front cover and operating lever for trip lever drain systems, where the lever mechanically actuates the drain stopper through a linkage inside the overflow tube. The plate ships with mounting screws included. At 0.28 pounds, it is a lightweight replacement component suited for installation by licensed plumbers or experienced plumbing contractors performing tub drain service or renovation work.

This face plate is used in residential bathroom applications where a trip lever overflow drain assembly is already installed or being replaced. It is the exposed finish piece mounted over the overflow opening on the tub wall. The chrome finish makes it a common choice for standard bath fixture trim work. It is typically installed as part of a full drain kit replacement or as a standalone cosmetic upgrade when the original plate is damaged or corroded.

Work should conform to applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines.
