EZ-FLO 1-1/2 Inch Trip Lever Bath Waste and Overflow Drain Kit, Brass with Chrome Plated Trim, 35201

worked perfectly. As heavy duty as the one I took out that was installed 35 years ago

All of the parts that come in this kit are individual parts packaged for easy shipment. Parts are not pressed out soldered so the user may adjust for many different installations. With that being said, disconnect at each joint and use plumbers tape or joint compound. Tighten appropriately and install as you wish.

good value for money, long as you know you're prepared to lengthen it with a rubber coupler, or another copper tail pipe. then there's leaks, you need to use extra teflon tape on all joints. you can also use silicone gel. It look me at least 10 tries until I finally got every single joint leak proof all the way to the U trap.a pro plumber will likely just trash this, consider time is money, and they'll just charge you $500 or more for the job. for DIY, it's definitely well worth the money, long as you don't mind putting in more time to figure out the kinks as mentioned above.

While the materials feel and look good there are a few issues. At the drain shoe is a connection that will leak. You will see a lot of reviews to this affect. The connection is not properly sealed and requires modifications to work. Secondly the pipe to the overflow is too short. If your tub is over 12” you will need to purchase an extension tube and if your tub overflow is over 14” the drain stop will be too short. There are lots of other options that are slightly more expensive but well worth it. Spend a little bit more and save yourself a lot of cussing and swearing while squirming on your back trying to take this one in and out several times only to jerry rig it and hope for the best.

Solid brass good quality product. A must when doing a renovation of an old bathroom

Leaks from both factory joints!!! Wish i used a Gerber!!!!

It was much easier to install than I thought it would be. It was virtually identical to the original.

As others have already stated, the lower horizontal brass pipe will probably leak at the joint where it connects to the shoe (tub drain mount) but it can be corrected. FYI, get the tube wet and hold your hand over one end of the tube while blowing air with your mouth into the other end ("it's still clean at this point"). You will probably notice air/bubbles from the joint. Anyway, I had already cleaned the brass and was going to just solder the sections together but while trying to remove the "press fit", I discovered that contrary to what other have indicated in reviews, this is not a press joint but is actually a tightly screwed in threaded joint. I was able to grip the two sections in my hands and unscrew them by giving it all I could while flexing them back and forth. There doesn't appear to be any joint compound or tape so it's no wonder it leaks. I wrapped Teflon tape on the threads, reassembled it tightly and the leak is now gone. It's a shame that you have to do anything to a brand new part but this does make it work in a permanent manner without resorting to JB weld, solder or returning it for something else. The brass material and other parts seem to be of good quality although the overflow tube is about 1/2" shorter that my old tube and the strainer bolt is just long enough to catch but they still have enough length to work fine. I think it's still a better solution than a cheap plastic version and it's more affordable than the other brass offerings so for those reasons I would buy it again and just know that some additional tape will be needed.
