Kingston Brass DTT208 Tip-Toe Bath Tub Drain, Brushed Nickel

Installed onto an old iron tub, using the 06020 tub drain wrench. It took very minimal effort on a drain which must have been around 40 years old. There was a clay seal holding it in place which was totally brittle. Anyway, this device makes it look new, and is pretty cool and simple. I love the polished chrome, and heavy feel to it. Should last a while.

Really happy with this drain. The brushed nickel finish looks awesome and matches my bathroom hardware. Installation was simple, and it feels solid. No issues at all.

The media could not be loaded. The package was simple. Some fell out of the packaging, but were not damaged. There’s no instructions, but it was easy enough to follow or look up installation for a new drain ( which is what I did)The spring feels sturdy and the parts are all brass metal except for the part encapsulating the spring “push” mechanism. It is not flushed to the tub as I had hoped, but I’m okay with that. Just as long as it can withstand the wear. The water here is pretty hard, and the ones I had on had a lot of mineral deposits, but I’m not sure how long it has been since the Previous owner had it.The brushed nickel color is nice as well. I purchased 4 to replace all my tubs at home.

This brushed nickel model is very sturdy and well made. It looks great (for now) and seals very well. BUT, the problem for me is, if I push down on the plug with water in the tub, I can not get it to seal again! I did this my accident and had to completely drain the tub after only having it filled for 5 minuets. Again, if I did not push it down, the seal would have kept the water in the tub until I was ready to get out, and then drain the water out. So if it did not do this, I would have given 5 stars. Maybe if I replace with a rubber gasket that is thicker (like the Denco brand people are talking about) it may work 100%?!?

I installed one and bought 2 more. The pop-up design is great, fit and function also. I made a drive socket for easy installation of last 2 units. Happy wife, happy life rings true.

The cross hair on the current tub drain broke apart when I tried to remove it from the drain. This drain is made of much better materials. Just comparing even the weight between the old and new, this new one is twice the weight. It is constructed of good metal instead of the cheap lightweight version we had that wasn't real brass. Bottom line, this is the drain you want to buy!

Worked great on my Kohler jetted tub. Fit perfectly.

Seems like the brass this is made from is heavy duty and good quality but the finish is rather poor in the item I received. I would expect to have to replace this again in a year or so just due to the finish on the item. We bought it to replace a corroded drain in a bathtub when we had it refinished to sell a house. It's cheap enough and is actually difficult to find in this finish color so it fit the bill.
