Convert Trip Lever Bathtub Drain to Push Pull Stopper

If you see a lever sticking out of the overflow plate in your bathtub, this is a trip lever style of tub stopper that controls another mechanism. This lever controls either a plunger style or pop-up type of tub stopper.

For a plunger tub stopper, the lever controls a stopper that falls into the drainpipe junction at the overflow pipe to stop up water and hold it in the tub or release it. A plunger type of style is recognized by a drain that simply has a great cover without a visible stopper over the drain.
A pop up tub stopper is controlled by the lever which is attached to a rocker arm that moves the stopper up or down to plug the tub drain.

Over time, these types of trip lever bathtub stoppers can become corroded or broken or not work quite so well and you may experience water leaking from the tub instead of stopping the water completely like it is intended to do. They can be kind of a pain to repair as you need to remove the overflow plate and pull the linkage out, but this can be well worth it to replace with a simpler style of bathtub stopper.

Removing a Trip Lever Bathtub Stopper

The first thing to do is get a screwdriver to remove the overflow plate but have some rags handy so that you can pull out the overflow plate while lifting it up and pulling the attached linkage and lay on a rag without dirtying the tub.

Once you pull the linkage out, you can easily install a brand-new push-pull stopper like the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish which installs in just minutes.

Removing Existing Bathtub Stopper

The first thing to do to replace your bathtub stopper is to remove your current tub stopper.  You need to first identify the type of bathtub stopper that you have to know the best way to remove it. The most common types of bathtub stoppers include:

• Lift and turn - Easily turn the knob to open or close the tub stopper.

• Push pull - Simply pull up on the style to drain water and push it down to seal water in the tub.

• Foot activated - Just step on this tub stopper to pop it open or another time to push it closed, also called a toe-touch stopper.

The following types of bathtub stoppers are indicated by a trip lever protruding out of the overflow plate:

• Pop-up - This type of stopper moves up and down when the trip lever is moved which controls an additional rocker arm attached to the stopper covering the drain.

• Plunger - This type of bathtub stopper is also indicated by a trip lever protruding from the drain and also by a drain cover over the drain hole without a visible stopper. The lever moves a plunger up and down inside the overflow drain, which stops the water and holds it in the tub.

Once you identify the type of tub stopper you have, it’s easy to remove with simple household tools, usually needing nothing more than a screwdriver. Once you remove your bathtub stopper, the easiest way to replace it is with the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish solution by Watco.
