DRAIN
STOP INOPERATIVE / NEEDS ADJUSTING / PARTS
MISSING: Many drain stoppers are the
"pop-up" type which are controlled by
a lever which is connected to a shaft which
lifts or lowers the drain stopper. Often these
will get out of adjustment or break. If they
become enough of a nuisance, some property
owners will disconnect them. One type of pop-up
stopper is simply pressed down for the stopper
action and pressed again to release it. This
type is almost always found in bathtubs and can
easily be replaced should it wear out.
Adjustments are made by screwing the connecting
rod in or out on tub stoppers and by sliding the
"clevis" up or down on sink stoppers.
This rod is accessed through the overflow drain
cap in bathtubs, and is found on sinks under the
counter. It may be necessary to contact a
Plumbing Contractor or Handyman for assistance.
One sure cure to drain stopper problems is to
purchase a rubber stopper as a replacement. Any
of the pop-up type stoppers can be repaired
however, if the necessary components are
available. Replacement parts are available at
most Plumbing Supply Stores and Home Improvement
Stores.
