Thrifco 5140004 Tub Drain Extractor - OEM# 5255, 1-1/2 in. Tub Drain Removal Tool

The Thrifco Plumbing 5140004 Tub Drain Extractor is used to remove stubborn 1-1/2 in. tub drains when the drain crossbars are corroded, broken, or missing. The helical knurled design grips inside the drain body after a light hammer tap, helping reduce the need for chiseling or hammering directly on the tub drain. It works with a 1/2 in. ratchet drive and extension or a compatible wrench for controlled removal. This tool is useful for plumbing repair, bathroom service work, and drain replacement jobs where standard drain removal tools may not engage properly. It provides a practical removal option for tub drain service while helping reduce damage around the tub opening.
