Watco 38412-BZ Foot Actuated Bath Stopper Bronze

Watco Foot Actuated Bath Stopper

The Watco 38412-BZ foot actuated bathtub stopper is designed for homeowners repairing or upgrading an existing drain. It fits drains that have cross bars with a 3/8 in. diameter so the pin adapter can thread directly into the drain body. The bronze finish coordinates with matching bathroom fixtures. This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm under Proposition 65.

Installation Requirements

Installation requires an existing bathtub drain with cross bars and 3/8 in. threads for the pin adapter to engage. If the drain lacks cross bars or uses a different thread size, the stopper will not fit and cannot be installed without modifying the drain. The ABS plastic construction is lightweight but the thread compatibility must be verified before purchase. Professional plumbers often choose this brand for reliable drain repairs.

Practical Limits

The stopper operates only with drains that accept a 3/8 in. pin adapter, so it cannot be used on drains with larger or smaller thread diameters. The foot actuated mechanism replaces a lift-and-turn or pop-up style but does not change the drain outlet size. A limited 5 year warranty covers manufacturing defects under normal residential use. Orders of 75 dollars or more from the manufacturer ship free.
