My plumbing guy left without finishing the work. The overflow he installed for my bathrooms are very strange (see attached). I checked with couple plumbers they all never saw this before. Now I can't find overflow trim anywhere. Could you help? Thanks.

I've seen this type of drain before... Actually a nice unit.

You obviously have a toe touch or lift and twisttub drain (see pics.) and therefore no mechanism required up at the overflow pipe.

The chrome overflow face plate just spins onto the threads and you are good to go (no screws required).

I would take the picture over to a local PLUMBING SUPPLY HOUSE...they will recognize this as it is very common type nowadays. And they will also know the kinds they carry in your area.

Worst case, may need to buy entire unit... best case they will have a universal trim kit that will work here... ;)

Let me know how you make out, please. Thanks... MARK

American Aluminum & Brass.

Check with either Ferguson's or Consolidated Supply for trim kits.

It's not as popular as you said. I went to two local plumbling supply with the photo. None of them knew anything about this type. They only had one or two holes type for overflow. Do you where I can find this online? Thanks a lot, June

I went to a local Ferguson and the guy there didn't have any clue. He only knew one whole or two whole overflow. Do you know the exact name of this kind? What's the manufacturer? Thanks a lot. June

Hey Junezhu:

I will take this pic. To my local supplier on Monday and see what they think... check back MONDAY night about 8:00 P.M. EST.

If I'm right they sell this as a kit with only two pieces... the top overflow part with trim (and washer) and the tub shoe elbow with toe touch or lift and twist drain/trim (and washers). The rest is made in the field using a sanitary tee fitting and pvc pipe... why I like it... ridgid connections... no washers involved.

Any access panel behind the tub.. And this isn't for a whirlpool tub... is it..?

Give me until MONDAY night... or maybe iamgrowler will check back and offer more help here... ;)

I have never seen this before either and I do a lot of bathroom renovations.

I transposed the name of the manufacturer -- It's American Brass & Aluminum (AB&A).

It's a lift and turn, similar to the tap-toe in Marks first reply.

If you still have the cap that threaded onto the overflow for testing purposes, you can confirm this by looking on the surface of the inside of the cap, which should have "AB&A" stamped on it.
