How to Replace Your Bathroom Sink Pop-Up Assembly | PlumbCraft How To Series with Penny PlumbCraft

[@gloriajohnson3161]

Thanks to you, I just installed a new faucet drain stopper and it works, no leaks. Waited 5 years for hubby to do it after he installed the new faucet. At 67, I don't need to wait for him. I just need girls like you on KZbin!

[@mrsleepyshow]

Im a guy in my late 30s and the lady at walmart whos around 70 taught me how to install my wooden blinds! I kept going in to ask questions lol.

[@ebbrown8771]

Gloria!! Omg I’m on here for the same reason🤣🤣🤣 This is a great video! This is on my list to do now. Cheers!!

[@mrsleepyshow]

Guys / ladies: please make sure that if ur sink has an “overflow” opening, that you get a faucet that has a drain with an opening that is cut into the metallic/plastic pipe (i.e. “faucet with overflow”) to catch the water that sprays off of your hand into the overflow and that funnels under/inside the hollow sink otherwise if the drain has no hole the water from the overflow will back up. I had to order a separate Krauss drain with overflow bc i didnt realize there was a difference bn faucet (specifically drain pipe) for sinks that have overflow (therefore drain pipe w hole cut into the pipe) vs sinks w no overflow

Best video of this procedure out there. Short, clear, and to the point!

[@chadcollins108]

I wanna thank you. Ive never done this before. The instructions on the sheet that I had were hilarious. I was beyond lost. I came to your video and in minutes I actually installed a faucet. Thank you for breaking this down.

[@truthseeker6637]

Thank you for this. This 3m video took me 4 hours!!!! 🤯🤯🤯 this is a helpful guide. Obviously there will be obstacles if u have older parts + a wall. But still this was just meant to show how to do it. So I am soo appreciative.

[@johnsschroeder]

Watched the video and replaced the drain in about 30 minutes total. Some of the tips were super helpful, things I wouldn't have thought of but made the difference between getting the job done and calling a plumber.

[@alexl3092]

We did this and it leaks. Reading other comments and watching other videos, it sounds like she skipped the step where you wrap the threads with teflon tape.

[@penguinrevolution9041]

Simple, straight to the point and it's right. 10/10

[@MrSaltyeye]

Great instruction. Concise and delivered well. Thank you ☺️

[@paulaguilar5041]

This lady did a nice job explaining the process. She correctly said use plumbers putty. Don’t use silicone even if the directions say so. ( I have done this and it fails most of the time. Plus you will have to wait 24 hrs for the silicone to dry) one tip that helps is to put some Teflon tape on the drain ring before you thread it in. This is where it will most likely leak. She did a great video! I was impressed

[@theworstparatrooper574]

Thank you very much. I found this video helpful and referenced it A LOT during fixing my sink.

[@A2ZGeek]

No nonsense! I like that! This looks easy peasy! Thanks for the video.

[@anewkindofangel]

One of the best instructional videos I've seen so far. Clear and and easy. I was able to replace everything with ease as instructed. Thank you.

[@Ilovecomedy7]

Thank you for the detailed video. I just fixed the clogged pipe and put the pop-up back in.

[@navi_6621]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I accidentally broke my parents stopper assembly in their guest bathroom while trying to clean it out. It was very very old, like from the 1970s and I had no idea where to start on how to remove it and I certainly didn’t want my 50+ parents having to bend down there to fix it. I bought them a new one and installed it myself using this video which showed me exactly what I needed to do. I bought them a new one that uses the power of magnets instead of having to insert the metal rod through the stopper’s hole. They can pop it out from the top and clean it off without having to bend down under the sink and disassemble all of it. Then just insert back in from the top and POP the powerful magnet grabs onto the rod and works like any other assembly. Gotta love Home Depot, lol!

[@chrishipskind6203]

Thank you so much for making that video. It was very helpful and we appreciate it.

Why does the throat of the pop up assembly 1:40 have holes in it? What is that about?

[@mikimaruii]

Your videos are great! I have a question. I am just replacing my pop-up assembly, and it turns out that the pivot rod that came in a kit is too long for my small bathroom sink. Do these rods come in different lengths? Or do I need to cut it?????

[@raasad3708]

thanks for this video...it was very helpful

[@nightshade8538]

How do you find a replacement for the stopper? Mine still works but it looks rusted and I want to replace it.

[@januaryheights]

great video! how do I know about the right size for my sink?

[@YetSolema]

Thanks for sharing rhis video.it helps alot

[@herbertlincoln8991]

Very helpful. What do you do about the small holes in pipe when you have the same holes in the sink itself you know the upside down smile holes in pop up drain match same holes in your sink?

[@haledragon1]

Great video, that's what's up thumbs up!

[@pisces8975]

I came here because my toddler shoved sand down the drain and I needed to clean out the popup drain. The clog was in the pop up, not the trap. Now the drain drains quickly and my toddler lost all sand privileges.

[@MrHartApart]

your son is about to grow up to hate sand, since it gets everywhere. plus its coarse.

[@_1ben]

does it matter which way the stopper enters from the top? meaning the opening or hole at the bottom of the stopper goes towards the ball or away from the ball or does it matter

[@stephenjones6030]

Some suggest putting plumber putty on the rubber washer that goes against the bottom of the basin. I had a leak at that point, put silicone there, and the problem was fixed. I put in another faucet and had a leak at the same spot, put forgot to put the silicone there! Ugh! So, take everything apart to put some there. :)

[@jamescc2010]

I had leak at the bottom lock too not sure b/c I did not put a thin washer on the top, only applied putty on the top piece.

[@ITTJagger]

Now give us a video of tips on a drain assembly thats 60+ years old. Easy to explain it with brand new parts.

[@xephael3485]

Sawzall and trash can, and more money..

[@Maxpower4908]

I was going to say the same thing. All of these videos are new parts that are hand tight.

[@windmeza]

Thank you! Just what I needed to know.

[@alexandermolina8747]

Do you have to shut off your water for the sink?

[@jamescc2010]

My new pop-up leaks underneath from the the big nut/lock in the bottom. I did not use a washer on top, and only applied some plumber putty on the top. I did use a big washer in the bottom. Will try to install washer first on the top.

[@MrJCTECH]

You never mentioned the washer that goes before and after the drain rod!

[@artemismateiodintoiu7527]

I cant get out the top rod 😢 goes up and down but not out up😢

[@martinrivera6828]

The problem is when there's no much room under the sink and you have an old rusted drain, its not that easy to remove it.

[@badassuchiha4875]

You definitely know what your doing

[@DavidM442]

Help! All the videos show Install. I need to REMOVE the stretched out plastic lift rod strap but the click install doesn’t look like it un-clicks! Warning: plastic lift rod straps stretch out after only a couple of months causing the lift rod to no longer work. Avoid plastic latches!

[@hautedaug]

so, the part i needed to see is basically magic

Does the water need to be turned off?

What if you're drain has the overflow hole

[@carolynweaver5061]

I didn't see where to put the rubber ring for the ball for the pop up

[@thesodiumchannel9194]

My rubber gasket is glued on not screw on idk what to do

[@googelle7555]

No teflon tape? 😕🤔

[@celinaedward7721]

Got it thanks!

[@sallyyoung4127]

I noticed there is a hole in the tailpipe in the threaded part. When I installed my drain, it leaked and it seems to come from that hole. What am I doing wrong?

[@PotentiallyTranscend]

Plumbers putty should not be used on plastic, which appears to be shown in this video. When using plastic (where the putty touches), you should use silicone instead. Plumber's putty should be used with metal only.

[@ablack1321]

This is the comment I needed. Thanks for the explanation.

[@christopherrangel1679]

Yeah Yeah I got my my crib crib ready ready

[@thomasfoley1699]

The top of the flange meeting the sink is metal and putty can be used for this seal. Silicone may be used as well but you will never be able to replace the pop up drain again with your sink later on.

[@HandymanHustle]

⁠silicone is easy to remove later

[@NKBC1689]

I disagree. I've been using putty in this application for years and have never had any issues.

[@samanthaclark4646]

I have a PVC pee trap but not removeable /unscrewable like yours. It is sealed together, not screwed together and I can't seem to get the tail piece out of the trap, and I really don't feel like busting the PVC. Any suggestions or videos your can refer me to?

[@gregsinglar3970]

Is it all pure PVC? If so it'll be beneficial to cut the trap out and go to Menards/Home Depot/Lowes and get a 1-1/4" to 1-1/4" trap adaptor. One end is for the PVC pipe (which you'll have to glue) the other for the plastic pipe. Also get the flex extension cuz that came in handy for me. Hope that helps

[@75west]

just what I wanted to see

[@strangeroamer3219]

You do not need pliers to screw plastic nuts. Just hand tight.

[@zombi3907]

This video is a great example of a glottal stop "T" pronunciation which is common in many areas of the US but definitely not the majority. If you don't say your "T'"'s like that it's really noticeable. "Ti-En" vs. "Tigh-Ten"

[@Nitephall]

Is there any way to clean out all the crud in the channel that goes from the sink's safety drain down into the drain pipe? Q-tips don't cut it.

[@jashimuddin7716]

Thank you very helpful

[@producerboy29]

Awesome

[@TheCcvitality]

If only real life were like that

[@eb121209]

You do NOT use channel locks on PVC pipes 🤦‍♂️. On the plastic flanges, you ONLY hand tighten.

[@snorman1951]

Theory meets reality.

[@strangeroamer3219]

Besides, she is using them the wrong way.

[@jerrychapman7091]

You can still hand tighten with pliers🙈🙉🙊💩

[@bryanhadro1612]

This was a super helpful video, but ONE thing she didn't mention is: ensuring the threads of the popup at the top and where the lock nut ends up are wrapped with Teflon/plumbers tape. Otherwise water will drain out the holes at the top of the popup and through the threads. This video covers that step pretty well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4XQhoJjZap_ptU

[@sfreni1]

Thankx Penny

[@amandaa5504]

It’s easy if you don’t have a wall. But geez it would have been better giving different scenarios. Anyway thanks for the video, it was kinda helpful.

[@yovict]

Anybody else annoyed that when they loosen the trap (0:42) they turn the slip nuts in the same direction, but to tighten (3:00) they turn in opposite directions?

[@TheEgg185]

I tightened the big plastic nut (mine was nut shaped) way too much because the whole plastic drain would spin around by hand. I guess thats just the way it is. If the plastic nut was shaped like the one in this video I would have known it didn't need to be tightened too much.

[@altodomino2721]

2:34 (pivot rod)

[@everyday-diy]

This is a best case scenario. In real life if your sink drain is old it is probably metal pipe and metal which I bet you a million $ is not going to come off happily. You will probably end up cutting the nut with a hacksaw while squeezing and twisting your body under the sink. And half way through will regret starting the project like I did:). So firstimers like me should not take this job lightly.

[@TheEgg185]

I had no trouble removing my metal drain. I'll take that million $ now.

[@carlosbolanos1070]

Lol

[@lajuannaturley2826]

This video was great...I was able to do it with no problem! Although, the squeezing and twisting was definitely part of it!

[@TheSammym11]

So true, you made me actually laugh out loud to your comment halkatgp.

[@beatlebrunch]

I had to pry my old faucet off with the claw of a hammer since the faucet was installed in 1987. no chance of getting the assembly off of the underside of the sink. now im working on the drain.

[@JasonBaltis]

Then why do the threads leak after doing all these steps?

[@dsandoval9396]

maybe you crossthreaded somewhere along the line, or a piece of debris is stuck in a place that allows water to exit where it's not supposed to. i would say unscrew the pipes in question and make sure nothing is in the way of the threads and make sure the rubber gaskets/washers are in the right position. if you use washers that are not integrated into the lines makes sure they are the right size, i once had to buy bigger washers/seals because the ones that came with the fixtures were a bit to small even though the sizes printed on every piece was right. ...crossing your fingers won't hurt.

[@LillianGardner0214]

I would add plumb putt to the threads.

[@Jose-tl1eb]

They forgot to apply Teflon tape on all plastic threaded sections. I had to re-do mine.

[@pedrito77]

I have the same PROBLEM!

[@terryjones8360]

Put some Teflon tape on the threads. That will stop it from leaking. See the correct way here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6Kvn3mhYpeZmsU&lc=z23leh1bazuittqix04t1aokggs2tjz1aeaqynjiru3wrk0h00410.1528023290633800

[@ivnpck2911]

Is time to make more videos

[@CoryMck]

*So...I guess we don't need the bucket...*

[@bobtolford3001]

You will if the drain happens to be clogged, then the need for a bucket will become swiftly realized when you've loosened the drain trap and all the water that had been in the drain pipe above suddenly succumbs to gravity and spills out on the floor because you did not situate the bucket under your work space. That part was omitted from the video.

[@austinparadise731]

You aren’t supposed to use plumbers putty on plastic it’s supposed to only be used on metal, also you should use Teflon tape. I followed the instructions in this video and it ended up leaking.

[@joelpeacock556]

You will need to apply tape to all connections which she fell to tell you

[@everyday-diy]
