Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your tip-toe bathtub drain, particularly leaking, the following steps may help resolve the problem:
Issue: Leaking Tip-Toe Drain
Sometimes the tip-toe washer does not engage correctly with the stopper, leading to water leakage. This can often be resolved by adjusting the internal screw.

Steps to Resolve Leaking:
- Remove Cap/Cartridge: Carefully remove the cap from the drain or the cartridge from the drain body. This may involve unscrewing or gently prying.
- Fully Open Drain: Ensure the drain mechanism is in the fully open position.
- Remove Cover Cap: Detach the cover cap to expose the internal screw.
- Tighten Screw: Using a screwdriver, tighten the internal screw. This adjustment helps the washer engage properly.
- Reinstall: Reinstall the cover, cartridge, and cap. Test the drain for proper sealing.
