I changed colors in my bathroom from chrome to brushed nickel so I needed a new drain stopper. This one is solid and the color is beautiful too. It matches with my other Moen attachments. I bought one at a home improvement store…it didn’t have a nice brushed nickel look, was light weight, and felt cheap so I took it back and bought this one through Amazon. After receiving it, I took it to a local plumbing store to verify the thread and size matched up to the one I removed and it did. It didn’t come with the rubber gasket, so I bought one which my setup required. After watching many YouTube videos, I finally found one that was useful, and was able to install it. The plumbing store recommended this putty and it worked so much better than the harder putties and I tried several! To install I first used my hand and turned the drain from left to right, while at the same time applying light pressure on top, then switched to the tool and finished tightening. I kept checking to make sure it was going on straight and that excess putty was coming up all around edges. I had to start over several times until it went on perfect. Most YouTube videos make it look so easy to install but it wasn’t. In hindsight I should have hired a plumber but I did learn a lot. Thanks for a quality product!! Read more

After 25 years our Moen polished brass IPS bathtub spout diverter leaked badly (half water from spout when shower on). Glad to find this two piece pbrass Moen drain kit (drain part is pull up, not pop up). Moen initially sent us a new diverter gate for the old IPS spout, but when the new gate did not reduce the heavy leaking, sent us a new pbrass slip on type spout/diverter that had the same traditional style along with a new matching pbrass escutcheon. Our contractor in 1998 for whatever reason did not continue to install Moen brand polished brass bathtub parts for the overflow plate and drain ( I had requested all pbrass Moen) , but now corrected with this two piece pbrass drain kit. Hired a plumber in Sept 2023 to convert the spout's internal copper pipe from IPS to slip on (copper pipe threaded fitting was cut off); no leaks, and the new Moen pbrass slip on spout/diverter work perfectly. Now all the showy parts of the bathtub/shower are gleaming Moen pbrass (new and old pbrass shine the same), amen. Probably Moen is done with pbrass, so we lucked out here. These 2 Moen parts were part of an accruing list of plumbing improvements that we had neglected: So along with the 3 Moen pbrass bathtub parts (new pbrass spout/diverter/escutcheon, overflow plate, drain), replaced a 40-yr-old sump pump with Zoeller brand model 53, replaced 6 valves with quarter turn compression angle stop valves for 2 sinks and 2 toilets (chrome escutcheons included), and replaced a 42-yr-old outside hosebib with a nonfreeze (proflo sillcock); 4 hours total for all, $1020. Left all work to plumber, did not even try replacing the overflow plate, did not want to see nor tackle any surprises, nor eyes from any lurking creature. Also say the word escutcheon or flange to your plumber a million times so when he arrives he may have them. Ironically when our plumber arrived he informed me there were many past complaints when their service installed without escutcheons - I think all of those complaints came from me; so your homework is to know what an escutcheon is (decorative flange or cover plate to hide wall hole around pipe), and what an IPS spout (screw on a copper pipe that has threads) vs slip on spout (push on copper pipe and tighten with a bolt on bottom - no threads on copper pipe) is; use good/trusted brands. Update June 2025: More plumbing, well, sort of: Radon. Tested again after too many years and level jumped to 24 picocuries/liter (pci/liter) vs US standard below 4. Radon project $1725 uses 3" pvc pipe suction in basement, then travels thru crawlspace wall to a mid crawlspace suction, then to far side of crawlspace then 90 dgree turn thru exterior wall, then vertical to the fan "belly" while tapping elec power (60w) from a kitchen outlet, then vertical to over the roof line, including over the gutter. Then tested, from 24 to below 0.4 pci/liter covering 1600 sq ft combined basement and crawlspace, amazing, should have it sooner. First leg in basement has a battery powered alarm and a blue oil indicator for fan suction, both visible on front of the 3" pipe. Read more

I purchased two of these units to replace pop-up drain plugs installed when the house was built. The installation process was pretty straightforward. (I recommend using a tub drain removal wrench to remove the old drain, and to tighten this one.) This drain installed easily. I don't expect that a drain installation kit will include some of the items you use in pluming repairs -- plumber's putty, teflon tape (if you use it) and the like. However, at this price point I think that the drain should include a bath shoe gasket (which fits between the drain and the bottom of the bathtub), a part that I would replace as a matter of course with any drain replacement. (Old gaskets can become brittle or may otherwise need to be replaced, and nobody wants to make a hardware store run after removing the drain.) Also, the gasket that seals the drain plug when it is closed is on the flimsy side. If you intend to install the overflow drain cover, note the instruction that you need a conversion kit if you are replacing a two-screw overflow cover with the single-screw cover included in this kit. You can pick up a bath shoe gasket and a third party conversion kit at a hardware store for about $3-4. Read more

Did not want to spend a lot on the guest bathroom and the original stopper was the kind that you push down and then push again to pop up and with age it was unreliable sometimes it would not pop up to drain so I got this in Chrome which was the cheapest finish and it was nice that it also came with the little cap. We had a plumber redoing the master bath shower and just added this service on for $30 more for him to install. Highly recommend easy to use but cannot speak to ease of installation since I did not do it myself. Appears to be very good quality. Read more

This review is for the Chrome version. For the price I paid, I was expecting these to be poor quality metal and chrome plating, even from Moen since all manufacturers have "discount" lines of product these days. I was very pleasantly surprised when I held the box and felt the weight of the metal. Both pieces are well built of solid brass and the chrome finish is flawless and very thick. I had no problems installing it with the included hardware and it has made my tub look so much better with the new fixtures. The only problem is that now the handles and tub spout are looking rough in comparison, so I guess I will need to be replacing those soon too. Read more
