A push-button bathroom sink drain without overflow is made for a basin with no overflow opening. Press the stopper to close it and press again to release water. The KES matte-black drain is best for shoppers seeking an all-metal build, while ARCORA is a brushed-nickel choice with a clearly stated sink-thickness limit. KES polished chrome and VOTON fit common 1.6- to 1.9-inch openings. ALLWIN-HOUSEWARE W is worth considering for a wider stated opening range, provided its tailpiece dimensions match your plumbing.

KES Matte Black All-Metal Drain
This KES drain is best for buyers who want a matte-black finish and a metal construction. The listed materials are brass and 304 stainless steel, with no plastic parts. Its stated fit is for sink holes from 1.6 to 1.9 inches. The product also includes thick silicone gaskets and a three-piece sealing-ring design intended to help prevent leaks.
Choose this model if its finish suits your faucet and bathroom hardware and your sink opening falls within the stated range. A limitation is that the supplied information does not state a maximum sink thickness, so measure the basin and confirm fit before ordering.
ARCORA Brushed Nickel Clicker Drain
ARCORA is best for shoppers who want a brushed-nickel clicker drain and have a sink no thicker than 1.7 inches. It is specified for sink openings from 1.6 to 1.9 inches and is designed for sinks without overflow openings. The operating action is simple: press down to close the drain, then press again to open it.
The listed materials include a stainless-steel button, PP components, and flexible silicone gaskets. This is not an all-metal option, so choose another model if avoiding plastic parts is a priority. Check both the opening diameter and basin thickness before purchase.
KES Polished Chrome Metal Drain
This KES model is best for buyers who prefer polished chrome and want the listed brass-and-304-stainless-steel construction without plastic parts. It fits sink holes from 1.6 to 1.9 inches. The product details describe a thickened pipe wall and three sealing rings, plus silicone gaskets intended to help create a secure seal.
It is a useful comparison to the matte-black KES option when finish is the main difference. The listed information does not provide a maximum basin thickness, so verify that measurement with the seller or product specifications if your sink is unusually thick.
ALLWIN-HOUSEWARE W Small-Cap Drain
This model is best for buyers whose sink opening may be larger than the common 1.6- to 1.9-inch range. Its stated opening range is 1.57 to 2.36 inches, and it uses a 1-1/4-inch tailpiece with an approximate 1.22-inch outer diameter. The small button cap measures about 1.50 inches across, while the top flange coverage is about 2.44 inches.
It is specifically the version for sinks without overflow. Avoid choosing it based only on the opening range: the tailpiece and plumbing connection must also match. The product notes that non-standard plumbing may require an adapter or professional adjustment.
VOTON Brushed Nickel Vessel Sink Drain
VOTON is best for a vessel sink that is thicker than the ARCORA model’s stated limit. It fits a 1.6- to 1.9-inch drain opening and lists a maximum sink thickness of 1.97 inches. The drain flange and threaded pipe are brass, while the tailpiece is stainless steel. The product describes its construction as all metal and its body as integrally molded.
Choose it if the opening and thickness measurements match your sink and you want a brushed-nickel finish. Its stated opening range is not broader than the common size, so it is not the right choice for an opening outside that range.
Buying Guide: How to Choose a No-Overflow Sink Drain
Does your sink have an overflow opening?
Start by checking the basin. An overflow is a separate opening or slot near the top inside wall of some sinks. These products are listed for sinks without overflow openings. If your basin has an overflow, look for a drain specifically designed for that configuration rather than assuming a no-overflow model will work.
What measurements should you check?
- Drain opening: Measure the sink hole and compare it with the product’s stated range. Several options here fit 1.6 to 1.9 inches, while ALLWIN-HOUSEWARE W lists a broader 1.57- to 2.36-inch range.
- Sink thickness: Check the basin thickness where the drain mounts. ARCORA lists a 1.7-inch maximum; VOTON lists 1.97 inches.
- Tailpiece connection: Compare the drain’s connection dimensions with your existing plumbing. ALLWIN-HOUSEWARE W specifies a 1-1/4-inch tailpiece and approximate outer diameter.
Should you choose metal or mixed materials?
KES and VOTON describe metal construction, with KES specifying brass and 304 stainless steel. ARCORA lists a stainless-steel button and PP material. Compare the material details if avoiding plastic components is important. Also consider finish: matte black, polished chrome, and brushed nickel are different visual choices and may not match every faucet.
How does a push-button stopper work?
These clicker-style drains use a press-to-close, press-again-to-open action, avoiding a separate lifting lever. Look for sealing gaskets and clear installation dimensions. Do not assume that a stated leak-prevention feature guarantees a leak-free installation; correct sizing and assembly still matter.
