The video title is a bit misleading because I had planned to repair my existing pop-up assembly. However, I'm so glad I played this video! I have a bath tub with this system, and it ALWAYS works with no problems. I had no idea the same technology was being used on sink drains! Well-spoken with great video clarity!
Thank you for this video. I ordered two of the pop up a.b.d.'s that you recommended. I had to repair one of my pop ups today because the rod came loose from the stopper. I have to pull the stand of my pedestal sink out so I could get to it. My other bathroom has a fairly new Moen faucet in it, but the hole for the pull up rod doesn't line up with the holes in the sink. So the pull up rod is at an angle pointing to the back and it looks terrible. I'm glad I came across your video so I won't have to deal with the ones I have now anymore.
@@PlumbingPartsPro I installed both of them and they are so much nicer than the pop ups. Thanks again for the video. p.s. I recently unclogged a tough blockage in a drain by water jetting it out with a new pressure washer. I much rather do it that way as opposed to using a snake.
Thank you so much for the video. I just bought one and was looking for the metal pieces. I know it been alongtime you did this video but i hope you doing well. Im going to try to put it just like your video.
Tried and they break after a short time. Clicking mechanism. Also hard to clean the gunk build up around the lip. Old style lift out or unhook. Use old tooth bush to clean out way down. AND old style helps filter the hair so ezier to get out with brush. AND less times to open up the P trap or link to the wall and good to go. Also who wants to put their hand or finger back in their filthy sink water to push the button. Went back to the old style it works and is reliable for years. Multiple apartment owner.
Pop up drain for bathroom sink. And the bottom gasket keeps leaking. It's a flimsy clear rubber thing. Should it be replaced with a larger black one? And seal with a silicone caulk?
They do not. These only work on sinks with overflows. You must get a vessel drain for sinks without overflows. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VbSCWIqsi0w.html
It should be obvious to all but I am sure there will at least one person who doesn't know that the P trap has to be connected before the water goes down the drain and out of the house instead of onto the floor.
You can just remove it. They make small plugs to go in the hole, I have seen some people put a small dab of clear silicone in the hole and some people leave it open.
So, after upgrade, u have to wet your finger to open the drain.... and there will be a hole on the faucet where the old rod was. (Ok, I will plug it with a rubber plug.)
So SOMETIMES I have run across a sink that has a rough finish underneath that causes a tiny leak. I have put a small amount of putty on the under side between the washer and sink. Also if it's a plastic drain, make sure there's no small cracks.
I bought a pop-up kit from home Depot. Where that lever goes in with the round ball, there is no washer or compression ring. I cannot get it to stop leaking from there. I thought maybe my kit was missing the compression ring, so I went back to home Depot and bought a second kit and discovered that it also does not have a compression ring or washer where that round ball for the lift rod goes in. I have taken the nut off and rethreaded it several times but cannot get the leaking to stop. Help! Unfortunately I bought the standard type of pop-up before seeing this video.
So it actually depends on the pop up. Some have the washer on the inside of the body of the pop up and nothing on the nut side of the ball. This is because water should never get that far. I have seen some Deltas that don't even have a full round ball and are open on the outside. Make sure, if required, the washer is on the inside, also if it's a plastic nut it's not been overtightened and cracked and as last resort you may need a couple rounds of teflon tape on the threads (not required)
@@PlumbingPartsPro so I think I figured it out. Apparently I misthreaded the nut the first time I put it on and it messed up the threads. I used the nut from the second one I bought and that seems to be working.
This was a display with no water or ptrap. It does hold water very well. The fact that it's spring loaded there has to be room to press downward to disengage the drain. The washer to seal it is sitting lower than your typical pop up drain.
+Caprice_ Pete usually if it leaks to top its coming from the faucet itself or splash water. there's really no place in the drain for it to leak that high
The strap is not lined up properly to the drain and everything is new. The strap is bent to reach the bar. The clip is on the strap and the ball bar correctly however the angle (down) is letting the clip fall off the bar. Looks like you have something there which stays on the bar better than what I have. The contractor came and put it on already once. It fell off a year later. Now I’m doing what I paid him to do in the first place. Can you send a close up of what you used. It’s much better.
Some people have different views on it. But what's the difference in waking up in the morning with some not so fresh breath and brushing your teeth then using the exact same tooth brush the next morning?🤔
I watched your video on the installation of a pop up drain assembly. I have purchased a new vanity top with integral sink. I bought a new plastic pop up assembly, have used plumbers putty as recommended, but can't stop it from leaking around the drain assembly. I have hand tightened it as hard as I can, I also reluctantly cranked it a little tighter with a wrench.....still leaking.......running out of ideas
