Complete the Pop-Up Drain Installation
IMPORTANT! If the tailpiece has been removed, double check that
the plastic washer is installed inside the flange body or the drain
will leak.
Connect the P-trap to the tailpiece.
Press the seal into the lift rod hole on the body.
Insert the stopper into the flange.
For regular installations, insert the short end of the rod into the
lift rod hole and under the stopper rod. For vandal-resistant
installations, fit the rod through the hole in the stopper rod.
Hand tighten the rod nut.
Remove and adjust the stopper as needed so it lifts about 3/8″(1
cm) when opened. To adjust, rotate the threaded stopper rod in or
out as needed. Retighten the stopper nut.
Slide one end of the clip onto the rod. Slide the link onto the lift
rod with the thumbscrew facing the back of the fixture.
Squeeze the other end of the clip, aligning the hole with the rod.
Move the link to the proper position by squeezing the clip and
sliding it along the rod.
Insert the lift rod into the hole in the body and then into the hole
in the link.
Tighten the thumbscrew onto the link so the lift rod knob extends
1/2″(1.3 cm) above the lift rod hole.
Check for leaks.
