Pros/Cons - Reliability on the various styles of tub drains out there
Tub Drains -Trip Lever, Pop Up , Lift and Turn

I came across this Gerberit one as well which was a overflow and fill (all in one)
Dunno about how good or bad this one is but I DO like the design

whoops. Mods please move. I just went into advanced edit and it does not allow me to delete or move.
I realized its in the wrong forums.

I recently installed a Watlow lift and turn style. It looks very nice, seals good, but is kind of a pain to find the spot where it will go down. I think the pop up may work easier, but I prefered the looks of the lift and turn.

My Preference is the Gerber grid drain...

What is an "overflow and fill, all in one"? Each type has it advantages and disadvantages. You have to decide which is most important to you. I prefer the push/pull because they are easier to install and service. Trip lever drains can jam or leak.. People often remove the popup drains because they cannot get them adjusted properly then things fall into the hole and cause problems in the drain.

I'm with Redwood. Gerber, 17ga, brass nuts = the best.

Someday, I hope to see ANOTHER Gerber drain. I saw one about 20 years ago, but that was the first AND last one I have seen in this area.

HJ, if you do see another take a close look. They are made heavy, work well, you can change the strainer without messing with the shoe and special finishes for the strainer & trip plate are out there. They are a little tough to come by in Western Montana, just like where you are. That said, now that Gerber is owned by Globe Union anything could happen, but the last one I got was domestic and the same old good quality.

As a matter of fact some of the Gerber drains HJ installed back in Chicago are still working great... LOL
