Bathroom Sink Pop Up Drain Without Overflow - Brushed Nickel 2-Pack

In this review the KES bathroom sink pop up drain without overflow is evaluated as a practical, all-metal replacement for vessel and undermount sinks. The main reason to consider it is its solid construction: composed of thickened brass and 304 stainless steel with a brushed nickel finish, it promises longevity and resistance to corrosion where many budget drains use plastic parts. For homeowners wanting a durable, rustproof stopper that looks and feels premium, this drain is an easy upgrade that installs without complex tools.

Key Features

• All-metal construction: The integrated body of thickened brass and type 304 stainless steel removes plastic weak points and delivers long-term durability.
• Rustproof finish: The brushed nickel surface resists scratches, corrosion and tarnishing so the drain maintains its appearance over years of use.
• Multiple anti-leakage design: The included thickened silicone gaskets and 3-piece sealing ring reduce the chance of water leakage at the sink deck.
• Non-overflow fit: Designed specifically for sinks without overflow, it fits most vessel and undermount sinks that lack an overflow channel.
• Standard fit range: Fits drain holes from 1.6 in to 1.9 in with a maximum sink thickness of 1.97 in, covering the majority of vessel sink installations.

Who It's For

This drain is best for homeowners, renovators, and installers replacing a worn pop up in a vessel or undermount bathroom sink that has no overflow. Its all-metal build and premium finish suit farmhouse, modern, and transitional sinks where appearance and durability matter.

Those who need a drain that works with an overflow-equipped sink should look elsewhere, as this model is a non-overflow assembly. Also, if you require a drain with plastic components for a specific compatibility reason, this all-metal design may not be necessary.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid brass and 304 stainless steel construction for long service life.
• Brushed nickel finish that looks high-end and resists corrosion.
• Includes silicone gaskets and a 3-piece seal to help prevent leaks.
• Easy to install for most DIYers and works well with farm-style vessel sinks.

Cons

• Not compatible with sinks that have an overflow; limited to non-overflow applications.
• Some users reported occasional leakage, so careful sealing and correct installation are important.

Specifications
