A Chrome Pop-Up Drain Built for Vanity Bowls Without Overflow
The Karran PU25C is a chrome pop-up drain designed for bathroom and vanity sinks that do not have an integral overflow. Its stopper opens and seats at the bowl, providing a clean, controlled drain for everyday lavatory use.
Key Features
• Chrome finish coordinates with widely available chrome faucets, fixtures, and accessories.
• Without-overflow design is matched to bowls that have no overflow aperture, ensuring a proper seal and correct installation.
• Pop-up stopper mechanism opens and closes at the bowl for straightforward daily use.
• Sized for standard lavatory openings at the 1-3/4 inch drain opening common to bathroom and vanity bowls in this catalog.
• Sold as a standalone component, allowing replacement or specification independent of a sink purchase.
Where This Drain Fits the Job
This drain is the right pick for vanity bowls that have no overflow opening — meaning the bowl walls have no secondary aperture near the top rim. That includes many vessel-style and above-counter bowls, as well as several undermount lavatory bowls in solid surface, vitreous china, and quartz. When a sink project calls for a replacement drain or when the correct drain was not included with the sink order, the PU25C steps in as a standalone purchase sized and configured for the job.
It is a vanity drain, not a kitchen component. Kitchen sinks use a different opening size and a basket strainer or disposal flange, not a pop-up assembly. Keep these two drain families separate when specifying.
Finish and Construction
Chrome is a high-gloss, reflective finish that holds its look in bathroom environments and coordinates readily with the broad range of chrome faucets and accessories on the market. It is one of several finish options available across the PU25 drain family, each suited to different vanity hardware schemes. When matching hardware across a vanity installation, use the exact finish names of each component rather than assuming visual color alone will guarantee a match.
Who Orders This and Why
Cabinet shops completing vanity installations reach for this drain when the sink arrives without one, or when a project calls for a specific finish that was not included in a sink bundle. Designers specifying a vanity package use it to coordinate drain finish with plumbing trim. Contractors remodeling an existing bathroom replace a worn or mismatched drain without swapping the sink. Homeowners tackling a vanity upgrade can source this component on its own rather than buying a full kit that includes hardware they already have.
In every case, the decision hinge is the same: confirm the bowl has no overflow, confirm the drain opening is the standard lavatory size, and confirm Chrome matches the rest of the plumbing trim.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether my sink needs the without-overflow version?
Look at the bowl wall just below the rim. If there is no small aperture or slot that routes water to the drain before the bowl can spill over, the bowl has no overflow and needs the without-overflow version — which is this drain. If a slot or port is present, you need the with-overflow version instead.
Will this drain work with any brand of vanity sink?
It fits the standard 1-3/4 inch lavatory drain opening found across Karran's bathroom sink lines and many other vanity sinks at that opening size. Confirm your bowl's drain opening before ordering. Bowl brand does not guarantee fit; opening size does.
Can this be used in a kitchen sink?
No. Kitchen sinks use a larger drain opening — typically 3-1/2 inches — and take a basket strainer or disposal flange, not a pop-up assembly. This drain is for lavatory and vanity bowls only.
Is a drain assembly typically included when I order a Karran sink?
Not always. Many Karran sink SKUs ship without a drain assembly, particularly undermount and solid surface models. Check the included-components list for your specific sink before assuming a drain is in the box.
The Right Drain, Ordered with Confidence
When the finish is confirmed and the bowl is verified as no-overflow, this Chrome pop-up drain closes out the vanity installation cleanly, without a second trip to the supplier.
