Flip-top type: Drainage and water closure by flipping.
Flip-flop type downspout can be rotated in any direction at will, resulting in water leakage in the basin. Over a long period, the flip-flop type underwater device’s airtightness will be reduced, easy to close the water when the water still leaking situation, no water efficiency.
How to Install the Pop-up Waste Set?
Step 1. Clean up to remove any excess water from the sink
Look at the basin sink drain assembly and a pop-up bar. Using a pair of pliers, grab the threaded rod by the locknut and slight twist, locking the drain near the top of the nut. If the locknut is loose and loosens a bit when assembled and swung, there will be residual water spillage. Go back to the top of the sink and unscrew the pop-out, remove the front ring, and pop it out from the bottom. You are ready to install a new pop-out.

Clean drain stopper of the old twisted seam or putty. The plumber’s putty surrounds the bottom of the chrome ring on top of the new flange. Be moderate, and most importantly, cover the bottom. Some components will be rubber gaskets or you can also use silicone sealant, but the plumber’s putty job is the most important.
Step 3. Prepare the bottom of the assembly by
Putting a rubber gasket on the bottom of the pipe-fitting putty assembly. This will ensure that you get a good seal on the bottom of the sink. The bottom rubber gasket has a good seal and the screw top flange goes into the bottom assembly, sticking out from the top of the bathroom sink. It is most important that it is attached and not cross-threaded, use a wrench or pliers retaining nut on the bottom of the assembly, and the excess putty between the ring and the surface will be squeezed out and wiped clean with a clean rag.
Step 4. Install the brake
By putting the plug into the top of the drain, make sure the hole sinks to the back. Once again, return to the bottom. The rest of the plug unit consists of a ball and a rod. Inside the ball is a nut that threads into the pipe. Make sure the unit moves up and down through the push lift rod, and install correct seal ball size.
How to Repair the Leaking Pop-up Waste Set?
1. Wrap the raw material belt on the lower water device, you can wrap slightly thicker, raw material belt can strengthen the pipe thread sealing, to prevent leakage. (down the water device has two seals, one at the top of the pool, one at the bottom of the pool, raw material single wrapped between the two seals)
2. Lower seal ring coated with glass glue (the seal between the lower seal ring and ceramic is not very good, and needs glass glue to strengthen the function of water seepage prevention, you can buy it in the hardware store)
3. In the lower part of the hand washing tray with universal pliers tighten the copper nut. (General demolition is counterclockwise, installation is clockwise)
4. Install the connection section between the drain and the drainage pipe.
5. Put water into the pool, check the tightness, whether drainage is good, and whether the bottom of the basin is seepage.
