Universal Pop-Up Bathtub Drain Stopper & Hair Catcher

Key Features

• 2-in-1 Dual Functionality: Combines a high-performance bathtub stopper with an integrated hair catcher and strainer basket, allowing you to switch between water retention and rapid drainage while trapping debris.
• Anti-Clogging Strainer Basket: Features a precision-engineered internal basket that captures hair, jewelry, and small debris before they enter the p-trap, preventing expensive plumbing clogs and "slow-drain" issues.
• Universal Bullet-Core Pop-up: Equipped with a heavy-duty internal spring mechanism that provides a satisfying "click" response, ensuring the stopper stays firmly open for drainage or tightly sealed for bathing.
• Triple Silicone Seal Gaskets: Includes multiple sizes of high-grade silicone O-rings to create a 100% airtight and watertight seal in various drain diameters, effectively stopping leaks even in older or slightly worn drain pipes.
• Tool-Free "Drop-In" Installation: Designed for DIY simplicity; the unit requires no complicated assembly or professional tools—simply remove your old stopper and drop the new unit into the drain hole.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• Mechanical Upgrades: Replaces traditional Lift & Turn, Tip-Toe (Push Button), and Trip Lever style stoppers.
• Standard Fitment: Designed to fit 99% of US standard bathtub drains with internal diameters between 1.5 inches and 2 inches.
• Material Compatibility: Works seamlessly with PVC, Brass, and ABS drain assemblies.
• Note: Not compatible with flat-grate shower drains or specialized European-size drain assemblies.

Compatibility & Fitment

This universal stopper is the ideal solution for modernizing standard residential bathtubs. Key fitment details include:

• Standard US Drains: Fits most tubs found in homes, apartments, and hotels (Standard 1.5" to 2" openings).
• Depth Requirements: Requires a minimum drain depth of 1.2 inches to allow the strainer basket to sit flush with the tub floor.
• Finish Match: Available in various finishes (Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black) to match your existing bathroom hardware and faucets.

When to Replace

• Plumbing Protection: Standard stoppers often let hair bypass into the pipes; the integrated basket acts as a "last line of defense" against deep-pipe clogs.
• Ease of Maintenance: Unlike trip-lever stoppers that require disassembling the overflow plate to clean, this unit pulls straight out for a 5-second rinse-and-clean process.
• Leak Prevention: Over time, old rubber gaskets on traditional stoppers dry out and leak. The upgraded silicone O-rings in this unit provide superior longevity and suction.
• Improved Safety: Replaces broken or sharp metal "Tip-Toe" stoppers that can be a hazard for children or seniors during bath time.

Installation Tips

• Remove the Old Hardware: For Lift & Turn stoppers, unscrew the top knob. For Trip Lever models, ensure the internal linkage is removed or pushed aside so it doesn't interfere with the new basket.
• Select the Right Gasket: Test the included silicone rings to find the one that provides the tightest "friction fit" against your specific drain wall.
• Clear the Drain: **PRO TIP:** Before dropping in the new stopper, use a drain snake or zip-tie tool to clear any existing hair from the first few inches of the pipe.
• Test the Seal: Fill the tub with 2 inches of water and wait 10 minutes. If the water level remains the same, your seal is perfect.
• Weekly Cleaning: To maintain maximum drainage speed, pull the stopper out once a week to clear captured hair from the internal basket.
