How to replace your pop up drain

[@Sola_Scriptura_1.618]

Awesome how-to video! Keeping it real!

[@scott-o3345]

No putty for the basin and no teflon tape or paste on the threads of the tail piece. It'll be a miracle if it doesn't start leaking.

[@jmack619]

no overflow opening as well .

[@zenetsky]

Awesome. I agree, it’s simple but watching someone before you attempt the rust time just adds reassurance. Also. Bioshock, awesome. 👍

[@maritime9488]

Thank you for this video! I am new to DIY and it was helpful to see and be able to do on my own.

[@richardraveleen2074]

Very helpful and simple. Thanks. Should plumber’s putty be used when installing the new pop up?

[@FlippinGenius]

In the video i didn't use plumbers putty, I simply forgot and later reinstalled with it. So yes you should use it if you can.

[@neomatrix6115]

Love this video! Thanks! Question: When you were removing the metal nut that pressed the gasket against the porcelain bown (under sink), you used your pipe wrench - which direction did you turn the nut? If you are under the sink looking up directly at the bottom of the porcelain bowl, it appears you turned the nut COUNTER CLOCKWISE. Is that correct? I have a very tight nut, and I'm trying not to turn it the wrong way. Thanks!

First faucet/drain my husband replaced was a nightmare. Second one, he talking about calling a plumber. Wife watches this you-tube video. Now second one is accomplished without a plumber. Third one is a cinch. All three same day. LOL Thanks

[@GaryYoung-eq1ph]

How 2 turn the upper nut if it's very thin, need a special tool?( Metal sucks 4 plumbers only?) And when I try 2 loosen it gets tighter- counter clockwise.

[@allanwolff7772]

My sink has an overflow in it, so the popup I purchased has a second set of holes, to allow that water to return to the drain. The problem is, I can't get the bottom seal to stop leaking, I've tried plummers tape, made sure the bottom rubber gasket, is centered, and followed install directions to a tee. I've also had 4 other friends come over and try their hand at it. The water still comes out below the ring, that is supposed to keep the gasket in place. It just appears to be escaping thru the threads. What do you suggest. Thanks

[@howardsilver8396]

Teflon tape the threads, and get a separate thicker, tapered rubber seal for in between the Drain basket and the Sink. Some of the thin gaskets that come with the basket are not adequate to seal it. 100% Silicone clear caulk under the Basket Flange, or if drain is not Plastic, Plumbers Putty, should resolve the leaking . Make sure the sink basket opening is well cleaned, and the discharge tube nut below is adequately tightened, but not over tightened.

I came for instructional video, I thumbs up for Bioshock reference. Cheers, mah dude.

[@FlippinGenius]

Thank you sir! bioshock 1 and 2 ruled. 3 was POO POO!

[@clogon01]

This was very helpful. I don't think I have the strength. But when I call a plumber, I'll know how easy it is.

[@larrystandifer4327]

I did one of these today but the thing would not pop back up I had to pull it up. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@mccc4559]

the sound effects when you went under --- blurp blup blup blup....nice!

[@ricos4700]

So no plumbers putty up top to seal the drain? Is there a gasket of some kind that makes that seal?

[@FlippinGenius]

yes it came with a rubber seal

[@ricos4700]

@@FlippinGenius Nice. Thanks.

[@TheViewingBox]

Nicely demonstrated. I noticed that you didn't use Plumbers Putty at any point to help with the seal! is this advisable?

[@MtnXfreeride]

TheViewingBox that popup had a silicone gasket that is used in place of plumbers putty.

[@megmamaof2]

How do you get to that top pipe piece with a stand alone sink

[@rolandhernandez5087]

You are a Boss ! Big thanks .

[@sengerabten7518]

Can you please send the pop-up assembly you used with the name, brand and correct measurements etc.

[@artinstructor6352]

Thank you man 🙂

[@nevrbdwnruby7484]

What brand faucet is that??? It’s nice

[@virginias5952]

Lmao cuz this how REAL ppl are at home fixing stuff 🤣😂🤣no editing no BS

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Tried earlier this week. Thirty year old faucet drain doesn't come off so easily.. Plumber called. Coming out on Wednesday to replace both sinks and both faucets/ drains. I know my limitations. I did install one of the faucets though before discovering that the drain was too difficult to take out for me. Oh well. That's why we have guys who know what they're doing and can do it.

[@jimlabos]

The drains that do not have overflows on them are easy and usually do not need putty or Teflon tape. When you have an overflow one the threads most often will leak. Then you need to resort to Teflon or pipe dope etc..

[@bernabetijerina7104]

Can you apply teflon just to make sure it wont leak?

[@dwjudd]

Why are you replacing the whole drain. If its just the "pop up" thats not working, just unscrew the chrome top piece, remove the popup mechanism by unscrewing it, and buy a new popup - cheaper, less hassle and quicker

[@Asphaltsquadron]

....because the vid was based on replacing OR installing an entire unit which someone like myself found useful for new construction. FFS

[@macdp1]

Nice video of your bucket. Can't see anything else.

[@FlippinGenius]

I like my bucket.

[@macdp1]

Me too, I'll have to get one because my drain leaks like a sieve!

[@daywalker6002]

No plumbers putty?

[@FlippinGenius]

good eye. nope. seal was tight with out it.

[@carlosacevedo6385]

Lol...That's exactly what I said

[@T-Rex977]

@@FlippinGenius I'm looking for a video that not use putty. Since I am going to install mine and I don't want to use it.

[@samquinn6427]

This is why I would never buy a flip.

[@coldhardysucculentswithkdw4988]

I never know which way to turn because you can't tell which fitting goes to which pipe. Sucks. So can never be sure if am turning left or right.

[@mccc4559]

wtf?
