I just installed this drain with my thick stone vessel sink (Brixton Hand Carved Round Vessel Sink) which sits directly atop a granite counter. I tried the drain which came with my faucet and the threading was too short. This one was perfect because the threading was longer than that one and my plumber loved it! This drain is also wider than most I've seen. Most importantly for my family, it solves the common problem of slow drainage with drains that don't have overflow - this was a problem my old Kohler grid drain which had bubbles forming as the water was draining.

I've had a Kraus vessel sink and pop-up drain since a recent bathroom remodel and slow drainage has always been a problem. The pop-up mechanism on the Kraus drain was always difficult to operate, and never actually popped up very high. Because of the slow drain, there was always residue left from shaving cream, toothpaste, or soap that I had to wipe out of the sink. After reading about the Inello unit I decided to try it, and boy am I pleased! The pop-up mechanism works quickly and smoothly with a very light touch, seals the drain perfectly, and best of all, drains as fast as a traditional sink! The unit fit perfectly in the sink, with plenty of thread length to get through the counter top, and everything fit together with no tools required. And the actual drain has less obstruction in the water path than the Kraus. At under $20 this is a smokin' deal.

(Strange but true: the day the Inello unit arrived, the pop-up mechanism of the Kraus drain broke; the plug-and-cap detached from the spring inside the tube. Dunno if this was a defective unit all along (my wife's installed at the same time is still working, but drains sloooowly) or it realized it was being replaced and gave up the ghost. I took that as a good sign, and am now very happy with the Inello drain.)

I had a very difficult time tightening the large nut...I think its 1 3/4" and I had no tool that would fit it inside the confined space of the sink cabinet. I ended up having to buy a HUGE socket that cost almost as much as this drain just to tighten it up enough so that it wouldn't leak or spin. I do think it looks nice and I like the pop-up feature. I just hope that nut doesn't loosen up over time.

I purchased this as the drain that came with my sink does was not brushed nickel to match my faucets. This seems to work well and looks great so did the job.

This nickel is great for replacements of your current pop up, its cheap but at the same time seems very well build and packaged. Very happy

the sink drain was perfect - easy to install and looked great with the glass vessel sink that we also got from Amazon - thanks for recommending it when we ordered the sink

The lavatory Vessel pop-up drain is a GREAT addition to my Vessel sink. I'm so loving it!
