How to Replace a Bathtub Trip Lever

If the tub stopper through your trip lever just isn’t holding water like it should, it might be time to replace it.  It’s frustrating when water slowly leaks down and drain and you have to keep adding water to keep a tub full. It’s easy to remove a bathtub trip lever and replace it with a functional overflow plate and new tub stopper.

You should be able to remove the existing trip lever faceplate with just a screwdriver, have a bucket and a rag handy to set the linkage hardware in without scratching or dirtying the tub. Once you free the faceplate from the overflow tube, gently pull the linkage out and away from the tub.  The linkage should come out fairly easily unless it has corroded and broken away from the trip lever.

In this case, use a wire with a hook at the end or a claw type of extension tool to fish out the broken linkage and plunger from the overflow tube. Now you’re ready to replace your overflow plate and bathtub stopper.  Watco offers the easiest DIY solution with the Innovator Snap-On bathtub overflow plate and the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix products. 

Innovator Snap-On Overflow Plate

Watco’s Innovator Snap on Overflow Plate comes with a new H bar adapter and black retainer nut to easily retrofit any one or two hole and trip lever overflow plate.  You should use your existing H bar adapter and bolts if you have a one hole or two hole trip lever plate. Simply install the black retainer nut behind the adapter bar with a flathead screwdriver and snap on a brand new, beautiful overflow plate with the opening at the bottom.

Combine with the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix Push Pull stopper and mesh grid drain cover for a functional, watertight seal and a beautiful brand-new look to your tub.  FixMyDrain.com shows you how easy it is to remove and replace a broken bathtub overflow plate and bathtub stopper with quality Watco products and easy to follow videos. 

FixMyDrain.com shows you how to repair bathtub drain and stopper problems, without removing your existing drain.

How to Replace a Bathtub Overflow Plate

If your bathtub overflow plate is looking dingy or corroded, it may be a good time to replace it. The overflow plate provides a very important feature to bathtubs by allowing water to flow through the drainpipe instead of spilling out over the tub.  Sometimes we just don’t notice how corroded they start to look until we need to replace a broken bathtub stopper or drain cover. 

If you’re tackling a bathtub drain repair job, consider replacing the overflow plate and bathtub stopper at the same time.  New and innovative products make this easy for the do-it-yourselfer with high-quality, professional bathtub repair products that will last. Watco is a leader in providing quality bathtub drain repair kits, replacement stoppers and overflow plates.

Protect Your Outdoor Water Spigot in Cold Weather

An outdoor water spigot, also called a sillcock or hose bib, are all terms to describe an outdoor water faucet in the United States.  Outdoor water faucets should be made of corrosion resistant material with a strong handle that can withstand outdoor elements. Sillcocks can freeze and become damaged in cold weather if not using a frost free hose bib or if proper winter precautions have not been taken.

You should disconnect garden hoses from outdoor faucets before a frost and close any indoor shutoff valves if present. Open your water faucet to drain any trapped water inside. You can also invest in a special type of frost free hose bib which is designed to not freeze and break in cold weather.

Prevent Damaging Water Leaks with Woodford Frost Free Water Spigots

Prevent damaging water leaks with Woodford frost free water spigots which provide a frost proof water faucet that prevents residual water in the pipes from freezing.

How to Install a Watco Half Kit Bath Waste

Installing the Watco half kit bath waste is easier than you may think with step-by-step video instruction available from BuyEagle.com.  The Watco 901 Series Half Kit Bath Waste is a Schedule 40 bath waste which is great for installing where PVC piping already exists (PVC tubing is not included with this kit).  As you install PVC tubing to the Ell and Elbow sections of the 901 series, we show you first-hand how to cut, glue and install PVC pipe under your drain and in your overflow piping area. 

This schedule 40 Half Kit Bath waste provides a simple installation with no screws needed. Included is the Watco Innovator Snap On overflow plate which provides a nice clean look. 

Install PVC Pipe and Watco Trim Kit Instructions

If cutting the PVC pipe is required, measure and mark your pipe and cut the one and a half inch schedule 40 pipe to the desired length to fit behind your bathtub.  Allow for some extra piping to accommodate any misalignment issues if necessary. Follow the instructions for gluing your PVC pipe and then secure the drain elbow and drain flange gasket by threading the strainer body through the tub drain hole from the inside of the tub. 

Tighten the drain which may require two sets of hands.  Next, install the overflow elbow by placing the foam gasket on the overflow elbow and insert into the overflow hole from behind the tub. Tighten the retainer over the overflow piping from inside the tub by hand tightening only. 

Remove the red test membrane from the overflow pipe opening, then snap on the Watco Innovator Snap On overflow plate onto the black retainer ring.  Be sure that the opening is facing downward towards the bathtub drain.  Next install the bathtub stopper into the strainer body, tighten with a screwdriver and then screw in the top of the stopper.  

BuyEagle.com makes any bathtub drain, trim kit and stopper replacement project easy with quality Watco products and easy to follow video instructions. We are your one-stop for all your bathtub drain and stopper needs.

Tips to Fix a Clogged Drain Yourself

A clogged drain is one of the most annoying home repair problems there is. When your drain from your bathtub or sink is clogged, you realize just how much you take running water for granted.  It’s important to quickly unclog your drain for your own convenience as well as eliminating foul odors caused from backed up drains. Most of us would prefer to do this ourselves rather than call a plumber.

You may have success with soap and water and a soft cloth, although the best way to avoid clogged drains is to prevent them from occurring in the first place. 

Soapy Water

The first step in cleaning and clearing a clogged drain is to use some good old fashioned elbow grease with some soapy water.  Many drain cleaning products can contain harsh chemicals that could void a particular warranty so check your product and warranty information prior to using some home remedies. 

Prevent a Clogged Drain

Of course the best solution to prevent a clogged drain from occurring at all. The most important thing is to have a proper drain cover over your drain to prevent hair and foreign debris from entering your tub drain or sink drain.  FixMyDrain.com offers a simple solution if you are missing your tub drain cover or have a faulty bathtub stopper.
