Kohler K-33151 clicker drain review

A clicker drain without overflow, with a 1-1/4 in connection and a brass tailpiece, in polished chrome.

What the maker puts in writing

  • Without overflow
  • 1-1/4” (32 mm (1.26 in)) connection
  • Premium metal construction for durability and reliability
  • KOHLER finishes resist corrosion and tarnishing
  • From the description: “Complete your bathroom faucet installation with this clicker drain. This drain features a brass tail piece and a 1-1/4” connection. Without overflow”

The first bullet is the one that matters

Without overflow.

Look at the back of your bowl, below the faucet. No small hole near the rim means the sink has no overflow, and the drain body must be solid — which this is.

A hole means it does, and a solid body blocks the channel behind it. The overflow stops working, and the hole becomes decorative. You find out on the day somebody leaves a faucet running.

Vessel sinks and many undermount bowls have no overflow. Most drop-in and pedestal sinks do.

Kohler states its side of that clearly, which four of the six listings on this shelf do not do at all.

What it does not do is point you at the other version. The Kraus on this shelf does, in its own bullet: For sinks WITHOUT overflow, please see KRAUS pop-drain model number PU-10.

A brass tailpiece

In the description rather than the bullets, and it is the best technical fact on the page.

The tailpiece is the tube from the sink down to the trap, in permanent contact with waste water, soap, and eventually a bottle of drain cleaner. Brass takes that. Plastic does the job and is what budget assemblies use. Thin plated steel rusts from the inside out.

The Kraus on this shelf publishes a metal body and tailpiece without saying which metal.

And then the comparison

Kraus PU-11SFS — $34.95: Overall length 8 5/8 in. Cap diameter 2 5/8 in. Tailpiece 1 1/4 in. Drain opening 1 3/4 in. All rubber gaskets included. No lift rod. One-year limited warranty. And the part number for the opposite overflow case.

Kohler K-33151-CP — $99.99: Four bullets. A 1-1/4 inch connection. Premium metal. A brass tailpiece. A corrosion-resistant finish.

No overall length. No cap diameter. No drain opening size. No gaskets stated. No warranty.

Three point two times the price, for a page that answers fewer questions.

What the money actually buys

A Kohler finish.

That is not a trivial thing and it should be said fairly: chrome is not chrome. Polished chrome from one maker and polished chrome from another are visibly different side by side, and a sink where the faucet is Kohler and the drain is something else looks like two decisions rather than one.

So if the sink is Kohler, the faucet is Kohler, and the drain sits an inch from the spout where both are seen together — that is a real reason to buy the matching part, and Kohler’s own description frames it exactly that way: Complete your bathroom faucet installation with this clicker drain.

Outside that case, the Kraus publishes everything this one does not, for a third of the money.

And one thing to establish before ordering

The listed dimensions read 2.20 × 2.20 × 8.50 in (56 x 56 x 216 mm). That is plausible for a clicker drain — a 2.20 in (56 mm) cap and a 8.50 in (216 mm) overall length — but Kohler does not say which figure is which, nor what drain opening the body fits.

Measure the hole in your sink, and ask.

Strengths, and the catches

Strengths

  • States clearly that it is the without-overflow version, which is the compatibility question four listings on this shelf ignore entirely
  • A brass tailpiece, which is the part that sits in permanent contact with waste water and the right metal for it
  • A Kohler finish, which matters if the faucet and the drain have to match across a bathroom

Compromises

  • Ninety-nine dollars ninety-nine, against $34.95 for a Kraus assembly that publishes four dimensions, its gaskets and a warranty
  • Four bullets: no overall length, no cap diameter, no drain opening size, no gasket list, no warranty
  • No with-overflow part number given, where Kraus names its alternative in the same bullet

Slotted or unslottedUNSLOTTED — WITHOUT overflow, for sinks that have no overflow hole. NO WITH-OVERFLOW PART NUMBER IS GIVEN, where Kraus names PU-10 for the opposite case, so if your sink has an overflow this listing does not point you anywhere.

The questions we get

Does "without overflow" describe what I need?

Look at the back of the bowl, below the faucet. If there is no small hole near the rim, your sink has no overflow and this is the right kind of drain — a solid body, with nothing for an overflow channel to drain into. If there is a hole, this is the wrong part: a solid body blocks the overflow, so the channel cannot drain and the hole becomes decorative, which you find out the first time a faucet is left running. Vessel sinks and many undermount bowls have no overflow; most drop-in and pedestal sinks do. It is the first thing to check on this shelf, and Kohler states its answer in its first bullet. What it does not do is name the part number for the other case, which the Kraus listing here does — "For sinks WITHOUT overflow, please see KRAUS pop-drain model number PU-10".

Why does a brass tailpiece matter?

Because of where it lives. The tailpiece is the tube running down from the sink to the trap, and it is in permanent contact with waste water, soap and whatever goes down the sink — including the drain cleaner somebody eventually pours in. Brass handles that well and does not corrode through. Plastic tailpieces do the job and are what most budget assemblies use; thin plated steel is the one to avoid, because it rusts from the inside. Kohler publishes brass, in the description rather than the bullets, and the Kraus on this shelf publishes a metal body and tailpiece without naming the metal. Among the four small parts here, three are brass and one is zinc alloy.

Is it worth three times the Kraus?

On the published pages, no — and the gap is wide enough to state plainly. Kraus, $34.95: overall length, cap diameter, tailpiece size, the drain opening it fits, all gaskets included, no lift rod, a one-year warranty, and the part number for the opposite overflow case. Kohler, $99.99: four bullets, a 1-1/4 inch connection, premium metal, a brass tailpiece and a corrosion-resistant finish. No dimensions, no gaskets, no warranty. What the money buys is a Kohler finish — and if the sink and the faucet are Kohler and the chrome has to match across the room, that is a real reason rather than a snobbish one, because finishes do not match between makers. Outside that case, the arithmetic is one-sided.
