Watco 38516-BN Push Pull Bath Stopper Brushed

Watco 38516-BN Push Pull Stopper

The Watco 38516-BN is a push pull bathtub stopper made from brass with a brushed nickel finish. It includes a combination pin adapter that fits drains with cross bars threaded for either 3/8 in. or 5/16 in. sizes. This product is intended for homeowners or plumbers repairing or upgrading an existing bathtub drain assembly. It arrives new and is backed by a limited five-year warranty from the manufacturer.

Suits standard cross-bar drains.

This stopper suits installations where the drain body has cross bars and accepts a threaded pin adapter in the specified diameters. It will not work with drains that lack cross bars or use a different thread pitch or a tool-less twist-and-lock mechanism. Buyers who need a lift-and-turn, toe-touch or pop-up style closure should look at a different design. The Proposition 65 notice indicates the product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Thread pin adapter into cross bars.

Installation requires threading the supplied combo pin adapter into the drain cross bars, then seating the stopper body onto the adapter. The most common issue is discovering the drain threads do not match either the 3/8 in. or 5/16 in. options provided. Corroded or damaged cross bars can also prevent a secure fit. No special tools are typically needed beyond hand tightening, but a wrench may help on stubborn existing hardware.
