Plumb Shop Div Brasscraft 522-554 Drain Tailpiece Washer

Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 522-554 is a rubber drain tailpiece washer designed to create a watertight seal at drain tailpiece connections in residential plumbing systems. This washer fits 1-1/4 inch inner diameter or 1-1/2 inch outer diameter drain tubing, covering the two most common sink drain tailpiece sizes found in bathrooms and kitchens. It is manufactured from rubber, which provides the flexibility and compression needed to seat properly against slip-joint fittings and prevent leaks under normal drain line conditions. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this part as a routine maintenance or repair component when resealing or replacing drain assemblies beneath sinks.

This tailpiece washer is suited for use in residential bath and kitchen drain applications where slip-joint drain connections are present. It is a common replacement part when an existing washer has hardened, cracked, or deformed, causing slow drips or active leaks at the tailpiece-to-trap connection. The carded retail packaging makes it easy to identify and handle at the point of sale or on a service truck.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified individual familiar with residential drain plumbing. Before service, shut off water supply lines and clear the area under the sink to allow full access to the drain assembly. Slip the washer onto the tailpiece before threading the slip-joint nut, ensuring the washer seats flat and square against the fitting face. Hand-tighten the slip-joint nut first, then snug with slip-joint pliers — avoid overtightening, which can distort the rubber and cause leaks.
