Overview

• Review the written installation instructions that came with your drain. There is more than one type of drain and yours may vary slightly from the photos shown here.

• Pop-up drains work by attaching the lift rod on your faucet to a mechanism below called the linkage. The linkage connects to a part called the ball lever or ball rod assembly that is attached to the drain.

Adjusting the Linkage

• If the drain stopper is not moving or closing, check the adjustable link.

• Remove the clip that holds the link in place by squeezing the clip ends together.

• Move the linkage up or down to a different hole to adjust the stopper movement.

• Reinstall the clip.

• Check stopper movement; readjust if necessary.

Removing the Stopper

• The ball rod holds the stopper in the drain. To reach the stopper, the ball rod needs to be removed first.

• The ball rod is inserted into the side of the drain and attached with a nut.

• To remove, unthread the rod nut, pull the ball rod out, and remove the stopper from the drain.
