Product Description
AccessoryKohler K-7272-2BZ Clearflo Slotted Overflow Bath Drain, Oil Rubbed Bronze Review
Nice quality, but assembly required. Came in quickly and nicely packaged.Pros: overflow drain is good quality materials and fits into the elongated opening.
Cons: It is "cut and glue yourself" project. Consists of 1-1/2" PVC pipes. You need to provide your own primer, glue and RTV silicon for sealing. No, the provided rubber seal will not seal it against the rough fiberglass outer surface. So don't get shy with that RTV. I was and had to re-assemble again after filling up with water. Bottom seal leaked between the tub and rubber gasket.
Also, instructions for cutting the vertical pipe are not correct: it tells you to mark the spot on the pre-assembled (dry fitted) drain, then cut it a few inches higher to compensate for the Tee. Good thing I had spare PVC pipes because the cut according to their measurements made the horizontal part draining up... which is impossible. Had to make my own measurements and then everything worked.
Another con: if you are remodeling and your old drain was 1-1/4" brass or plastic, you are in for some plumbing and sub floor removal /reinstall.
Note: if you hope to cheat the bathtub depth by inverting the overflow drain to have it pointing up,it will not work. It mounts uniquely facing down.
