POP UP INSTALLATION
1. Remove the decorative drain flange, drain plug and gasket from pop-up assembly.
Do not remove the washer and lock nut.
2. Place the flange gasket onto the drain tube beveled side upward and on top of the washer.
Apply a ring of silicon caulking around the top of sink drain opening. Do not use plumbers' putty.
3. Insert the threaded end of the assembly up from the under the sink so that the top of the drain
tube is through the drain opening. Make sure the bottom of the drain tube is in the p-trap.
4. Completely thread the drain flange onto the top of the drain tube. Hand tighten the locknut
from under the sink.
5. Position the drain tube so the side hole in the pop-up faces you.
Place the drain plug into the drain tube so its bottom hole is in line with the side hole of the drain
tube. Place the short end of the ball rod into the side hole of the drain tube and through the hole
in the drain plug and tighten the ball rod nut so the ball rod moves freely.
NOTE: Do not over tighten.
6. Rotate the pop-up so the ball rod faces the back wall and tighten the lock nut giving it an extra
1/4 turn. Hand tighten the nut at the connection with P-trap. Test the rod and pop-up plug by
pushing the ball rod up and down to see if it raises and lowers the pop-up.
If not reinstall the ball rod.
7. Slip your faucet's pop-up lift rod through the holes at the top of the lift rod strap and hand
tighten the thumb screw. Push the ball rod down so the drain plug is in the up position.
Slip the one leg of the ball rod clip onto the ball rod and then slide the lift rod strap onto the
ball rod using the nearest hole. Then slide the second leg of the clip onto the rod.
Test the pop-up for smooth operation and adjust the strap if necessary.
