Replacement Drain Basket for this part?

[LCF]

I was hoping someone might know which replacement part I can buy for the old drain basket I removed? It was leaking and in bad shape as you can see in the photos. I bought one to try (also photographed) but it wouldn't thread on past a half turn so I think the threads are different. I appreciate any help. Thanks.

Looks like a standard part from the solvent weld tub waste and overflows. Any hardware store should have that.
Course threads for threading into plastic, the finer threads for threading into brass.

Thanks Terry. I tried both local hardware stores and neither had anything like it. I might need to buy one online.

This should help determine the size you have.

If you can not get the individual part locally, you could always see if one from an inexpensive kit would fit. For example: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/os...hrome-w-tee-plug-and-chain-stopper/1000126824.

Thank you for the replies! I am still very stuck and running out of time to fix this drain.

I just went to FW Webb and they couldn't even help me. They tried every drain in the store and told me that they don't have any that I can use to fix mine. They opened up every kit in their store but they only sold coarse thread. I have tried 4 drains now and none fit. Any advice or part numbers would be great. I may have to re-putty this and put it back in as I have family visiting next weekend.

Also, looking at the chart Marlinman posted, my existing drain has 1.86" OD and 11.5 thread.

I can't tell from the verbiage but this might work? It sounds like the included bushing would be for fitting my existing tub shoe:

Look at the diagram Terry posted.

You need parts 5, 6 and 7 - from a kit.
#5 is your flange - goes in from above the tub
#6 is the gasket - goes under the tub
#7 is the shoe - goes under the tub.

How is your access under the tub?

I would think that you would use a thread gauge to measure the thread pitch. 1.86" OD and 11.5 thread could be 1.5 NPSM or NPT.

Alternatively press the thread into something -- even soft wood-- and measure the peak to peak distance for as many threads as you can. If you have x threads (counting both ends) and y distance measured, the pitch in tpi (threads per inch) would be (x-1)/y.

Unfortunately I can only replace the part I removed from above. The shoe is buried in the ceiling of my newly licensed commercial kitchen below. I am trying to fix just the faulty part. It was just the flange that caused the leak and it was damaged when I removed it so I would like a replacement rather than puttying and reinstalling.

I put the drain back in from the top as a temporary fix so that my family can visit. I am planning on remodeling these old bathrooms in the coming years so I a bandaid will suffice for now. These old houses are great but what were they thinking when they buried these things in places with no access? I will be sure to fix that during the remodel.

For the time until you remodel Watco makes a universal trim and stopper in various finishes. Look at the 48750-CP-G for chrome. It will make it look new.

Did you actually measure either of those?
