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.
Lavatory – How to select the correct kit for your lavatory faucet or bidet.
(See Booklet – Page 8)
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).

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, riser , flange, and for IPS valve’s only: nipple.
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 ”.
** 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)
