Newport Brass Faucets
Supply Kits and Drains
Supplies and waste
assemblies are the transportation system that brings and removes water
from the home. Supplies cover the small parts and pieces used to
connect water lines to the products that need them: sinks, faucets,
water closets, and bidets. Waste assemblies remove waste materials from
the home through a system of drain pipes, traps, and vent pipes
Shutoff Valves
Shutoff valves are
connected to the hot and cold supply lines and used to turn water on and
off to individual components such as a water closet or faucet. They are
easily accessible and often exposed. However, in the case of a wall
mounted faucet the shut off is not exposed. Shutoff valves are
connected at the inlet port to the water supply line in the wall or
floor and at the outlet port to the faucet, bidet or water closet via a
riser. The two most common types of shutoff valves are angle valves and
straight valves.

·
In order
to determine the type of supply kit needed, you will need to identify
the water connection from the wall or floor. In other words, what type
and size of pipe is coming out of the wall or floor.
·
The pipe
size will be a threaded (IPS – Iron Pipe Size) or a copper tube
(compression).
·
All
Lavatory faucet supply kits contain at least three components:
valve (2 each), riser (2 each), flange (2
each), and for IPS valve’s only: nipple (2 each).

Angle Valves
– are used to direct the flow of water 90 degrees from a wall pipe to a
sink.
Straight Valves
– are used when the water source comes from the floor. They direct water
flow to a sink in a straight line from the water supply coming from the
floor through the inlet port to the outlet port that is connected to the
faucet.
IPS - Iron
Pipe Size.
Compression
- is the term used to connect copper piping to the supply valve by
compressing them together with compression fittings.
(1/2” compression is the same thing as 5/8” copper)
Sweat - is the term used to
solder the copper pipe to the tailpiece on a sweat type shutoff
valve.
Supply Tubes
·
Flexible (Corrugated)
- this riser has a straight section and then transitions into a flexible
corrugated section. This allows easy installation because of its
ability to bend without any special tools. Proper length selection is
critical because of the limited straight section of the riser. Only a
limited amount (one inch) of the straight section may be trimmed.
·
Rigid
- the rigid flathead style riser is a straight section of tube with a
flat flared lip and gasket outlet for use with a toilet. The bull nose
style riser has a conical shaped outlet for use with a lavatory valve.
Depending on the location of the valve the riser may need to be bent for
proper installation. This may require tube-bending tools. Once major
benefit to this style riser is that may be cut to any length needed.
Nipple’s
There are two
different type of IPS nipples used for supply valves which are either
1/2" or 3/8" in size. They are the decorative pipe used to connect the
valve and the water service threaded fitting.
Flanges
The flange is the
decorative item that covers the gap between the water service pipe and
the hole in the wall or floor. There are two basic styles to choose
from: shallow or bell. Most flanges are "sure grip"
meaning they grip the nipple or tube coming out of the wall or floor.
These flanges are available for usage with 1/2" copper pipe and 3/8" &
1/2" IPS fittings.
Traps
Plumbing codes
requires a "P", "S", or bottle trap be connected to the tailpiece.
Traps are curved sections of drainpipe that hold or "trap" standing
water. Each time a drain is used, the
standing trap water is removed and replaced with new water. All of our
traps fit an 1-1/4” lavatory drain tailpiece,
whether the trap is 1-1/4” in size or 1-1/2”.
·
P-Trap -
curved section of pipe that connects the drain to the sewer lines from
the wall and creates a water barrier preventing sewer odors escaping
into the home.
·
S-Trap -
curved section of pipe that connects the drain to the sewer lines from
the floor and creates a water barrier preventing sewer odors escaping
into the home.
·
Bottle Trap
- European trap used primarily for exposed trap installations such as
pedestal sinks or as an option when a space is at a premium such as wall
hung sinks or the back of a pedestal sink where a typical sized trap
will not fit.
Lavatory Drains
There are a variety of
lavatory drains to choose from such as Pop-up Drains, Grid Drains, Lift
and Turn Drains, and C.O. Plug Drains. The drain’s main function is to
get water out of the sink and into the sewer, but with style. The type
and style of drain needed is based on the faucet, sink, vanity top, and
vanity stand being used.
Pop-up Drains
Pop-up drains are the
most common drain type. They allow you to stop up the water to fill the
lavatory. You raise and lower the stopper with a lift rod located in
the center of the faucet. This is connected to a clevis, or connecting
rod. The connecting rod connects to the pivot rod and ball assembly.
Pulling the lift rod up causes the pivot rod to pull
the stopper down. Pushing the lift rod down
opens the stopper. These drains are generally designed for sinks
with overflow holes. They are available partially or fully polished.
This type of drain is sold with most bathroom faucet.
·
Overflow –
Standard pop-up drain is available with just trim polished or fully
polished
(325 -
standard) (326 - fully
polished)
·
No
Overflow –
Only available fully polished, commonly used with glass sinks.
(324 -
fully polished no overflow)
Grid Drains
Grid Drains are most
commonly used in commercial applications where the lavatory faucet does
not have a pop-up knob/rod or constant draining of water desired.
·
Overflow* –
available fully polished or just trim polished
(321 -
standard w/overflow) (3212 -
fully polished w/overflow)
·
No
Overflow**
– available fully polished or just trim polished; also a common problem
with the Grid Drains w/o overflow is that they drain very slowly. There
is nothing wrong with the product, due to the fact that the air cannot
escape from the drain which causes the water to create a seal at the
grid holes at top, which can prevent the water from draining in a timely
manor.
(3211
- standard w/o overflow) (3213 -
fully polished w/o overflow)
Lift and Turn
This drain is most
commonly used when the lavatory faucet does not have a pop-up knob/rod.
Based on finish option, this drain could be used on sinks that are
exposed or non-exposed.
·
Overflow* –
available fully polished or just trim polished
(320 -
standard w/overflow) (3202 -
fully polished w/overflow)
·
No
Overflow**
- available fully polished or just trim polished, commonly used with
vessel sinks, glass sinks, or thin copper or stainless steel sinks.
(3201
- standard w/o overflow) (3203 -
fully polished w/overflow)
* If only the overflow
version of either the grid drain or the lift and turn drain are
available when the customer is in need of a non-overflow drain, the
plumber can then cut the tailpiece off just below the overflow holes and
then re-insert the tailpiece into either the grid top or lift and turn
top turning it into a non-overflow drain. Also please note that this
will shorten the tailpiece by approximately ½”.
**
If it is used with a sink that is too thin to tighten up the mounting
nut to, then the customer can use extra washers to pad up the area to
allow the mounting nut to securely tighten.
C.O. Plug
A classical type of
drain that was used before we had mixing faucets.
They were common in the era when individual hot and cold taps were used,
such as the model 1001.
·
Overflow –
Not available fully polished
(323 – overflow)
·
No
Overflow –
Not available fully polished
(322 – no
overflow)
Extensions
There are different
types of extensions that are available for multiple reasons for our
lavatory drains, below is a list of the lavatory drain extensions and
what they are for and what drains they can be used with.
3251
– 6 “ Lift Rod/Ball Rod extension for any of
our lavatory pop-up drains, this is also not a finished item, it will
fit any 3/16” rod.
Commonly used with -
324, 325, 326
327
– 4” tailpiece extension that is 8” overall in length, can only be used
with the pop-up drains.
Commonly used with -
324, 325, 326
328
– 8” slip joint extension that can be used with any 1-1/4”
tailpiece, also it can be used for an 1-1/4”
P-trap to extend to the wall.
(All Lavatory Drains)
Kitchen Drains
There are a variety of
kitchen and sink basket strainer drains to choose from. The main
function of the kitchen basket strainer is to hold water for washing or
soaking various items and to prevent small items from going down the
drain while removing water from the sink. The basket strainer part of
the drain is removable while the body is attached to the kitchen sink.
Most kitchen basket strainers fit the standard kitchen sink 3-1/2” drain
hole. The drains output is connected to a 1-1/2” p-trap. While the end
function is the same between different types of kitchen basket
strainers, the style and operations are different.
Snap-in post basket
strainer
(brass)(122)(122LS)
The basket strainer is
pushed and pulled into the body of the drain. When pushed down the
basket’s seal prevents water from going down the drain. By lifting the
basket post higher, the water is strained through the basket strainer
while draining. This basket strainer is available in all of our
finishes. The 122LS is the same thing except with a one inch extension.
Snap-in post basket
strainer
(polypropylene) (123)(123LS)
Same as above except
made of a durable heavy-duty polypropylene. The 123LS is the same thing
except with a one inch extension. This basket strainer is only
available in the finishes listed below:
