About to replace my drain with a popup drain, because the plastic piece under the stopper is broken and the Clevis arm or whatever is totally not working. But turns out I had the clip attached incorrectly, but I like the idea of saving money here.
Video was very helpful. On a trivial note, those were imitation generic tongue in groove pliers and definitely not Channellock.
I'm glad this video showed that you probably have to grab the flange with pliers (destroying it) to get it out. This is particularly true on older, non-PVC connections that will have rusted or simply locked in place if they've been there for years.
Thanks Tony!
Your Video Was Very Helpful. Thanks…
The one thing I couldn’t figure out when I installed a new faucet. You are the man Tony.
Thank you
Yet another video installing an overflow drain assembly into a non-overflow sink.
Thanks, I just bought a house where this pipe was broken in both bathrooms (and packed with pens, rubber bands, and a comb…) and I was able to replace both myself. Your video was very helpful!
Thanks for taking the time make this video and explaining everything so well. You really helped me fix my bathroom sink and saved me money. Liked and subscribed. 😃👍
Awesome. You make it look so EZ. Thank you.
What do you do when the drain flange is frozen to the lower (cast iron) pipe? I've tried wrapping the segment in in a cloth wrap soaked with "rust buster." The rest looks do-able. Thanks.
Couldn't watch, what's up with the robot sounds?
very helpful, thank you!!!
Thank you for keeping the camera steady. I have seen too many of these DIY videos where the person was holding the camera while working, and it was really hard to follow.
I have a new sink with a 1 3/4 inch hole. I bought a pop up drain that said 1 1/4 on the box. Can i use that or does the drain have to be the exact same size??
