Victoria + Albert® IntelliDrain™

Elevate your Victoria + Albert® bathing experience by selecting the patented IntelliDrain™ and eliminating the need for an overflow drain cutout in the wall of the bathtub. The IntelliDrain™ removes the need to have unsightly external overflow plumbing and works just like a normal ‘click-clack’ drain. Once water depth reaches a certain point, the patented technology triggers the plug to open; thus preventing overflowing and providing a more attractive aesthetic.

Great video! Really helps for customers to visualize installation! Fantastic job!

I live in Canada in a home that is 60-70 years old, the joists are 8 inches deep. Coffering the main floor ceiling which is beneath the upstairs bathroom or installing a raised platform under the tub are both impossible.
I recently purchased the K40E-PC (Intellidrain), K70-PC (Island Tub Drain), and VET-N-SW-NO (Vetralla Tub). My tub filler has a 7.5gpm flow rate. The tub is not returnable and the other items have a large restocking fee.
The Technical Support for these products is in the US and the only assistance they can provide for the Intellidrain is to regurgitate the product documentation in the box. They do not support any deviation from the install configuration.
The K70 instructions state "DO NOT CUT THE SUPPLIED TAILPIECE. Doing so may cause a leak. Disassembling the drain or cutting the tailpiece will void the warranty" . The K40E instructions state "Do not cut (the tailpiece) if using K70!" and a "6.3gpm maximum recommended fill rate". The tailpiece is 9 5/8 inches long.
Dilemma: How does cutting the tailpiece affect the functioning of the Intellidrain? How does nesting the tailpiece in the P-trap affect the functioning of the Intellidrain? How does a 7.5 gpm flow rate affect the functioning of the Intellidrain? These answers will determine if I abandon these products and suffer a significant monetary loss.

Thank you for your comment and interest. We do not recommend cutting the tailpiece simply due to the possibility of a faulty or rough cut causing damage to the seals, and inevitably creating a leak. For more information and further discussion, please contact us at 800-777-9762, using menu option 2, or email us at [e-mail]. Thank you.

Will this work with an OS&B ITD35?
