Tapco Crc FB8961 Overflow Linkage Assembly

Product Description

The TAPCO CRC FB8961 is an overflow linkage assembly used in plumbing drain systems to connect the overflow plate mechanism to the stopper or drain plug below. This assembly allows the user to operate the tub drain from the overflow opening at the head of the tub. It is a direct replacement component suited for licensed plumbers and experienced service technicians performing tub drain repairs or fixture upgrades. The linkage assembly is a critical moving part that, when worn or damaged, prevents proper drain operation and watertight closure.

This overflow linkage assembly is typically installed in residential bathtub drain systems. It fits within the overflow tube running between the overflow plate and the drain basket. Service calls involving a tub that will not hold water or a stopper that fails to seat properly often trace back to a faulty or corroded linkage assembly. Plumbers use this part during drain repair, tub refurbishment, or full fixture replacement work.

Key Features

• Connects the overflow plate control to the tub drain stopper mechanism
• Designed as a replacement part for worn or damaged overflow linkage components

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the water supply and drain the tub completely before beginning work. Remove the overflow plate and extract the existing linkage through the overflow opening before inserting the replacement assembly. Follow local plumbing codes, including applicable IPC guidelines, for drain system service and repair.
