Click-Clack bathtub waste and overflow is a device that prevents the bath from overflowing and also ensures that used water is drained through the bottom hole. The principle of operation of the Click-Clack drain and overflow is automatic: the plug opens and closes by simply pressing it. This is very convenient; you don’t even have to put your hand in the water, but simply touch the drain with your foot.

Automatic drain-overflow made of high-quality plastic, so corrosion and plaque do not form on its inner surface. The chrome coating is resistant to abrasion and scratches, and also looks good in a snow-white bathtub. In addition, such a drain-overflow system costs much less, and the mechanism is not inferior in reliability.

An automatic drain and overflow with the Click-Clack system is installed on VANNESA acrylic bathtubs and WACHTER hydromassage bathtubs.

The use of siphons for plumbing began around the beginning of the 19th century. They were intended to prevent the spread of sewage smell in the room. A special bend was made in the siphon so that after draining, water remained in it, the so-called hydraulic (water) seal. The siphon was simple and uncomplicated, but progress does not stand still. For expensive bathtub models, they began to produce automatic drain and overflow.

Types of automatic siphons

Automatic siphons vary in cost and manufacturing technology. The principle of operation differs only in the mechanisms for opening and closing the plugs for draining water.

There are two types of automatic bathtub drain and overflow, which differ in the drive of the plugs:

1. Using a pressure valve (click-clack system).
2. Using a rotary knob.

There are advanced models with bathtub fill level sensors that automatically open the drain valves; they are expensive, but very convenient and guarantee protection of the rooms located on the floor below from flooding.

Design and operating principle

Siphons, which are controlled using rotary knobs, are the simplest and most convenient to use.

The drain plug on the outside of the bath is connected by a thin cable to a rotary handle. There is no need to reach for the plug to find it at the bottom of a filled bathtub. Turn in one direction - the drain plug opens, turn in the other direction - and under water pressure the plug closes the drain.

The advantage of this mechanism is the ability to regulate the speed of draining water from the bath.

Siphons with push valves have a more rigid mechanism for controlling drain plugs. Instead of a cable, a pin is installed. The main advantage of such a mechanism is the ability to control the foot. I pressed the valve under water - the water drained, pressed it again - the drain plug closed.

There are more complex designs with the ability to feed water from the overflow hole back into the bath, but they are rare due to their very high cost.

Materials for manufacturing

Basically, automatic siphons are made from the following materials:

• polymers (plastic);
• non-ferrous metal;
• of stainless steel.

The cheapest and most chemically resistant is the plastic bathtub overflow. It is not subject to corrosion, is durable, and, most importantly, is much cheaper than metal.

The big disadvantage of plastic is the fragility of moving parts.

Automatic siphons made from chemically pure copper alloys or stainless steel are much stronger and more reliable than plastic ones.

Advantages and disadvantages

Modern automatic bath siphons have the following advantages:

• there is no need to reach for the drain plugs with your hands;
• you can constantly be in hot water by adjusting the drain and without turning off the water supply;
• Some models with automatic drainage and overflow will protect the room from flooding.

The only disadvantages include the difficulty of repair, especially if you have an exclusive model.

It is important to make the right choice in favor of a specific model. This article will focus on the bathtub drain-overflow system. To figure out which siphon is better, you should carefully study the pros and cons of each type of drainage system. A correctly selected siphon model will add even more comfort to water procedures.

Drain-overflow system: technical features

The piping, also known as the drain-overflow system, is a structure consisting of pipes hermetically connected to each other. It is this that ensures the drainage of wastewater into the sewer system and also protects the bathtub from overflowing.

Diagram: bath drain device

The drain-overflow system must be equipped with a siphon, which prevents the appearance of an unpleasant odor in the bathroom. Water from the overflow hole enters the sewer using an auxiliary pipe. Most often, a corrugated tube is used, which can be stretched to the desired size and bent to the drain in any direction.

Advice! When choosing a drainage system, you need to pay attention to all the external parts that frame the bathtub openings. In a quality product they are made of stainless steel.

When buying a drainage system for a bathtub, you should definitely pay attention to the quality of the parts. It is also important to check the presence of seals and cuffs; the absence of one of them will certainly lead to a flood after the first filling of the bath. Seals are necessary to ensure the tightness of the structure and prevent leakage.

Siphon with drain-overflow system for the bathroom

At the moment there is a large selection of harnesses. From simple plastic siphons to chromed metal structures with special ornaments. Modern technologies make it possible to satisfy the requirements of the most capricious customers. Drain-overflow systems are divided into:

• a simple siphon equipped with a stopper;
• semi-automatic system;
• automatic drain-overflow system;
• filling machine.

Semi-automatic drain-overflow system

Each of these systems has its own advantages and disadvantages. And in order to decide which bathtub drain and overflow is better, it is necessary to consider each design in more detail.

Disadvantages and advantages of the automatic system

An automatic drain and overflow system for a bathtub is one of the most complex designs. In its structure, it is not much different from any other. The main feature of such a piping is that its drain part is equipped with a “click-clack” valve.

The system is very easy to use and does not require the use of any additional devices: rotary levers or locking plugs. With a light press, the user closes the drain hole, and repeated action will allow the water to flow into the sewer pipe. It is very convenient to control the valve with your foot while directly in the bath. You just need to step on it while standing in the shower.

However, this system also has a number of disadvantages; it should be noted that the automatic siphon is:

Important! The quality of any product determines its cost. The lower the price, the shorter the service life of the structure.

You should also know that if the spring that holds the valve and operates it (the most vulnerable part of the automatic system) fails, the entire structure must be replaced.

Semi-automatic siphon and its best aspects

The semi-automatic drain-overflow system, despite its ease of use, is a rather complex design. In addition to the standard hermetically connected pipes for draining waste water and an overflow system, models of this type are equipped with a shut-off valve, which is actuated using a lever mounted on the overflow hole. It is made in the form of a decorative handle or valve.

Operating such a drainage system is quite simple. The user turns the control lever 90° and the shut-off rod rises, opening the drain hole, and if you turn the handle in the opposite direction, the rod lowers, making it possible to fill the bath with water.

Diagram: semi-automatic drain device for bathtubs

The system works thanks to an auxiliary cable, the tension of which allows the plug to rise and fall. The design of the valve control handle can be varied. The most popular models are designed as:

• buttons;
• rotary ring;
• handles;
• decorative valve.

The overflow device in such systems is hidden under the control handle of the drain structure. This gives the harness a more aesthetic and stylish look. Also, one of the advantages of such a system is ease of use. By turning the handle located at the top of the bathtub, the user does not have to wet his hands or once again bend down to the bottom of the bathtub.

Semi-automatic drain with decorative valve

And if we talk about the disadvantages of such a system, it should be pointed out that the design is quite complex and has a lot of connecting and moving parts, and therefore attention should be paid only to models from responsible and conscientious manufacturers who have already proven themselves in the plumbing fittings market.

There is a type of semi-automatic drain-overflow system that allows you to fill the bathtub. This is the most complex of all automatic and semi-automatic harnesses. To install such a structure, it is necessary to supply water pipes to it. Using this type of piping, you can eliminate the installation of a mixer for filling the bathtub.

Economical system. Cheap and easy.

The simplest design of a bathroom drainage system is a mechanical drain-overflow system. There are no moving parts or levers and therefore it is the most reliable of all other types of harness.

Mechanical bathtub drain and overflow system

The system consists of several main parts:

1. Drain neck. Placed at the bottom of the bathtub, connected to the siphon.
2. Overflow pipe. Mounted on the overflow hole.
3. Corrugated tube. With its help, the overflow pipe and the main part of the system are connected.
4. Siphon. A U-shaped pipe that acts as a shutter. Prevents the spread of odors from the sewer.
5. Spout pipe. Ensures the passage of wastewater into the sewerage system. Such a pipe can be a corrugated hose or a straight pipe, depending on the location of the sewer outlet.
6. A plug blocking the drain hole. Most often it is connected by a chain to a grille installed on the overflow.

Connecting the plug

This system is very easy to assemble and install; anyone can handle it, even without in-depth knowledge in the plumbing industry. As a rule, failure of such a siphon is caused by wear of the sealing joints.

Advice! To increase the service life of sealing cuffs and gaskets, they can be pre-lubricated with silicone grease.

Plastic or metal?

Very often, buyers ask the question: “What material should the drain-overflow system be made of?” Currently, manufacturers use several basic materials for the manufacture of strapping:

• plastic;
• black metal with chrome plated;
• non-ferrous metal;
• stainless steel.

Plastic siphon

Plastic siphons have the most favorable cost and a relatively long service life. But their aesthetic appearance leaves much to be desired. The same can be said about ferrous metal systems. Manufacturing companies are currently increasingly resorting to the use of such raw materials.

Non-ferrous metal and stainless steel are the most expensive materials, but they are practically not subject to corrosion. Products made from such raw materials have a special style and can complement the overall look of the bathroom decor. For example, if the design idea was, then a siphon made of processed brass in an open bathroom (without using a decorative screen) will look very organic and stylish.

Brass bathtub overflow

When purchasing a bathroom fixture, always pay attention to the quality and brand of the manufacturer. These are the determining factors in choosing a drainage system. Especially it concerns . The user’s desire is to look under the bathtub as little as possible, so it is better to install a structure of the highest quality, and thus insure yourself against leaks for a long time.

Another name for a bathtub fitting is a sanitary siphon or a drain-overflow.

In any bathtub there are two holes, the first at the top is the overflow, the second at the bottom is the drain. The siphon, one might say, ties around the bathtub, connecting the overflow with the drain, and then connects to the pipe that goes into the sewer. All water enters the sewer through the drain, but in order to prevent water from overflowing over the top of the bathtub, a hole is made at the top, which is why it is called “overflow”. Unfortunately, you shouldn’t rely too much on it, because the overflow pipe is not such a large diameter and may not cope with the high water pressure.

There are regular, semi-automatic and Click-Clack (or automatic) overflows.

Conventional bathtub trims are the simplest, using a plug, usually on a chain, to close the drain hole.

The difference between semi-automatic drains and overflows is that the drain plug rises when the top overflow cover is turned. At the same time, the visible parts have good streamlined shapes.

Click-Clack siphons are also called automatic siphons. In them, the water drainage is controlled by simply pressing the plug that closes the drain hole.

The price of such bath frames depends on the material from which they are made and on the manufacturer.

Plastic or metal alloy?

Plastic bath siphons are made from a special sanitary material that is resistant to the external environment. They are reliable and practical. Usually the visible parts are chrome plated.

Metal overflows are made from a copper-brass alloy. They are strong and durable and are not susceptible to rusting or oxidation. Compared to plastic, copper-brass bathtub fittings are more resistant to aggressive chemicals.

The range of siphons is simply huge, since as many manufacturers of overflows and overflows as there are, there are as many types of them.

A little about the manufacturers of overflows and overflows.

The leaders in the production of plastic siphons are the European companies Vega, Viega and Alcaplast. The drains and overflows from these companies are universal, reliable and time-tested.

Among the manufacturers of copper-brass sinks and overflows, the German company Kaiser has proven itself well; the products produced at this enterprise are of excellent quality and do not cause any complaints from customers. It is worth mentioning the main advantage of Kaiser bathtub trims - the large range of adjustment of the length of the siphon, allowing them to be installed even on deep bathtubs.

And it is necessary to note the bathtub waste and overflows from the global giant in the production of sanitary equipment, Geberit (Switzerland), which have impeccable quality, confirmed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.

So which harnesses are best to buy?

In the end, of course, it’s up to you to decide, but in this article, we hope to make the choice at least a little easier by talking about the differences and types of overflow drains or, as experts also call them, bathtub trims.
