Whitehaus Lavatory Grid Drain 10.415-B

Essential Drainage Solution for Non-Overflow Bathroom Sinks

The Whitehaus 10.415-B lavatory grid drain provides the specialized drainage solution required for bathroom sinks without overflow holes. Constructed from solid brass, this grid drain serves the dual purpose of allowing continuous water flow while preventing jewelry, rings, and other small items from accidentally falling into your plumbing system. The open grid pattern maintains efficient drainage without creating a water seal, making it the appropriate choice for vessel sinks and other lavatory installations that rely on the drain itself rather than an overflow system for water management. Available in Polished Brass or Brushed Nickel finishes, this drain coordinates seamlessly with Whitehaus faucets and bathroom accessories.

Durable Brass Construction with Finish Options

Solid brass construction delivers the corrosion resistance and structural integrity necessary for reliable long-term performance in bathroom environments. The approximately 2½" diameter and 4" height dimensions represent standard sizing for bathroom sink drains, ensuring compatibility with most lavatory installations. Choose Polished Brass for warm, traditional elegance with a reflective surface that complements classic bathroom designs, or select Brushed Nickel for contemporary appeal with a soft, matte appearance that suits modern fixtures. Both finishes are applied to the brass base material, providing consistent color and durability that maintains its appearance through daily use and regular cleaning.

Common Questions Answered

Why is a grid drain necessary for sinks without overflow holes?

Bathroom sinks without overflow holes require grid drains rather than pop-up or stopper-style drains because they need continuous drainage capability. Unlike traditional bathroom sinks with overflow systems that can safely hold standing water, non-overflow sinks rely on the drain to prevent water from spilling over the rim. The grid design allows water to flow freely at all times while still providing protection against items falling into the plumbing. This makes grid drains essential for vessel sinks and other contemporary lavatory designs where the sink bowl sits above the counter surface and cannot accommodate an overflow hole in the basin wall.

What installation considerations apply to this lavatory grid drain?

This grid drain installs in standard bathroom sink drain openings using conventional plumbing connections. The 2½" diameter fits typical lavatory drain holes, while the 4" height accommodates standard under-sink plumbing configurations. Installation connects to your existing drain assembly and requires basic plumbing tools. The grid component sits at sink level, providing the protective barrier while maintaining the open drainage path. Because this drain does not create a water seal, it works specifically with sinks designed for continuous drainage rather than those intended to hold water. The brass construction provides the necessary weight for stable positioning without requiring additional securing mechanisms beyond the standard drain connection.
