This has got to be the best, most clear tutorial ever. I'll remember your name, Symmons industries.

[@Muddyfox47]

the only video I found that tells you about the washer placements under the sink - well done!

[@PhilMatous]

Thank you! This was the first time in my life (78 years) that I realized a nylon washer was to go inside the pipe as well as on the outside which explains why it leaked every time in the past unless I used a lot of plumbers tape. I put it on as you said and it worked perfectly the first time. I thank you for that and God that I had the sense to watch you video first.

Hands down best bath drain video out there!!!

[@thaddthadd9892]

The Lego brought a fun touch to the vid. I'm surprised how easy it is to install this! Well done!

[@tonyfieldflightllc4717]

THANK YOU! I bought a very similar model from Master Plumber and the extra rubber washer had me befuddled, angry and anxiety-ridden. It was hilarious to hear that it is included but you haven't found a sink that it is appliable for. Regardless, this was a great video visually and explanation-wise for a general entry level homeowner. I will gladly buy a Symmons product in the future.

Thank you for such a clear and concise tutorial. Greatly appreciated.

[@garthornspike3648]

Thank you for the video. It was a great help to me. ____________________________________________ A note to the amateur plumbers of the world - DO NOT put plumber's putty on the threads. That is what TEFLON TAPE is for.

[@mobilelegendsaccount3275]

Great video with excellent camera angles. Thank you!

[@msbee7869]

So…. It doubles as a coin counter? Thanks Ben, you made it clear and stress free. Now go buy a coffee.

[@jethal]

Glad I saw this video.. I'm replacing an old pop-up, and didnt know that the collar unscrewed.. thought i'd have to cut the drain out from underneath

[@maluu6192]

[@harrygg993]

Good vdo thank u sir

[@ravisriram6746]

Good video. I was wondering whether the drain assembly and strainer need to be the same brand as the faucet in order for them to be compatible. Thanks.

[@skeeburton3360]

Thank that was good

[@Soulcommander]

Very nice. Is it ok to use an overflow drain assembly with no overflow sink?

[@holidaydime]

That entrance tho

[@senarathdanawalagamageupal3869]

Thanks! This is helped me solve my issue! 1 Reply

Where is the plumbers tape on the threads? No tape guaranteed leak.

[@ur763]

Do I have to turn off my water before I install?

[@jimjackson4256]

This is the best video on installing a drain i have seen Thank you .I just got a new one like the one you installed but i think i am going to use the washer you put away as that was what was on the drain i removed. Consider a like a subscribe coming your way.

[@susanandrews2294]

Ok I know exactly what I have to do, but unfortunately my pop-up assembly is pointed to the rear of the cabinet it is under the vanity. There isn't enough room to get in there and get a nice easy view like you have. Getting a bit maddening. Tried it with a hand mirror and flashlight but still really doesn't work!

[@PatriceClifford]

Thank you for the directions. Can I buy only the pop up rod and ball assembly piece?

[@SymmonsIndustries]

Hi Patrice! The pop up or lift rod is going to be specific to each faucet; the ball rod is available alone as a part number P-112N.

[@PatriceClifford]

@@SymmonsIndustries Thank you I will try to locate it!

[@Majorhavoktv]

I kinda miss the metal chain with a rubber stopper, alot.more simple then this.

[@binglebongle8601]

Seriously? That's how the spring clip is held on? I'm missing something because mine does not stay. Just looking at yours, i dont know how that thing stays either

[@steveT345]

Sometimes you can bend a spring clip to make it grip a little better. Alternatively, I've seen folks add a rubber grommet to the end of the pivot rod after adding the clip to help it stay in place. Hope this helps

[@Designinganewme]

Sink is leaking between the beveled washer and flat clear washer. I can't find anything on the internet why this is happening. Help 😩

[@SymmonsIndustries]

We would suggest backing off the nut a little, making sure the beveled washer and flat washer are aligned properly, then retightening. You do not want to overtighten it!

[@Designinganewme]

@@SymmonsIndustries will do!! Thank you so much!

[@raydewar3389]

youtube sucks two long commercials

[@nightstringers]

Manufacture say no to putty it will crack the black gasket .

[@begmankiko-sk1gd]

Hi goode

[@erinnavage3408]

The advice to get rid of the black plastic washer really messed up my install. Guess what?! On some sinks they are needed! 🤬 Terrible advice, definitely look elsewhere if you need you tube plumbing help. 👎👎👎👎👎

[@SymmonsIndustries]

Erin, we’re sorry you had issues with the RL-154. We’re here to help, so just give us a call at 1-800-SYMMONS and we’ll make it right.

[@jimjackson4256]

I think you are right about that . My sink came with the washer and it worked for years.Otherwise a good video.

[@pradeepsinghm]

He literally says in the video that its included in case your sink needs it.
