Tapco 258 Trip Lever Bathtub Drain

Product Description

The TAPCO 258 is a trip lever assembly designed for use in bathtub drain systems. This component provides the mechanical linkage between the overflow plate lever and the drain stopper mechanism, allowing the user to control water retention in the tub. It is a standard service part installed by plumbers during new construction, remodel, or drain system repair when the existing trip lever assembly is damaged or worn beyond adjustment.

The TAPCO 258 is suited for residential bathtub drain applications where a trip lever style overflow plate is used. This style of drain control is common in standard residential tub installations and is typically specified when restoring original drain function or replacing a failed assembly. The part is identified in supplier data as a Rundle-compatible trip lever, making it relevant to plumbing service calls involving that fixture lineage.

Key Features

• Trip lever design operates bathtub drain stopper via overflow plate mechanism
• Intended as a direct service replacement for worn or damaged trip lever assemblies
• Compatible with Rundle-style bathtub drain overflow configurations
• Compact assembly suited for standard residential tub rough-in

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement trip lever for Rundle-style residential bathtub drain overflow assemblies. Verify fit against existing overflow plate mounting and linkage rod length before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off water supply and drain the tub completely before beginning work. Access to the overflow plate is required to remove the existing assembly and route the new linkage rod. Follow local plumbing code requirements per the IPC when replacing drain control components.
