The sink pop-up stopper device consists of a stopper and a linkage assembly that controls the position of the sink drain pop-up stopper. Occasionally, however, it requires adjustment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The pop-up stopper either doesn\u2019t move anymore when you pull\/push on the lift rod or the pop-up stopper just doesn\u2019t seem to hold water in the sink very well, e.g. water seeps around the pop-up stopper.\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Fortunately, with just a wrench and\/or screw driver you can fix a sink pop-up stopper problem in just a few minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Pop-Up Sink Problem Does Not Stay Closed<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">One of the most common sink pop-up stopper problems is that the pop-up stopper doesn\u2019t stay closed when you pull up on the lift rod handle. The main culprit with this problem is a loosened pop-up stopper pivot nut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The pop-up stopper pivot nut can be found on the back or side of the sink drain pipe. Usually if you tighten this nut a little, you will create the necessary friction on the pivot ball, located under the pivot nut, to allow the pop-up stopper to hold its position when either pulled closed or pushed open. It is important, however, to not over tighten this nut as you will create too much friction such that you will not be able to move the pop-up stopper lever at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you do find the pop-up stopper lift rod hard to move up and down, you may want to loosen the pivot nut a little. In addition, you can also temporarily remove the pivot nut and lubricate the pivot ball with a little Vaseline to help create a smoother action when opening and closing the sink pop-up stopper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Small Puddle Under Sink<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If you notice a small puddle or leak underneath your sink, it may be that the pop-up stopper nut is too loose and drain water is actually seeping out around the pivot nut.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"47%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7041\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sink Pop-Up Stopper Problems\" width=\"277\" height=\"208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 277px) 100vw, 277px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If this is the case, tighten the pivot nut with your wrench.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Pop-Up Stopper Linkage has Loosened Up<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another reason why a sink pop-up stopper may not work well in holding water in the sink is that the pop-up stopper linkage assembly has moved and needs adjusting. If you look up and under the sink you will notice that a horizontal metal arm extends from the pivot nut to a metal or plastic linkage assembly that is connected to the lift handle rod.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sometimes there is a screw that holds the lift handle rod to the horizontal metal arm that extends out from the sink drain. Other times there is a U-shaped piece of metal that holds the metal arm and lift rod together. Occasionally the screw loosens up or the U-shaped piece of metal slides down the lever rod.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">If this happens, adjust the lift arm and the horizontal metal arm that extends from the drain pipe, and either tighten the screw that holds them together or slide the U-shaped piece of metal up or down on the lift rod.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><a href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/how-to-install-a-faucet-ebook\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6707\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Installing-a-New-Faucet-Ebook-252x300.jpg\" alt=\"How to Install a New Faucet Ebook\" width=\"252\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Installing-a-New-Faucet-Ebook-252x300.jpg 252w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Installing-a-New-Faucet-Ebook-768x916.jpg 768w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Installing-a-New-Faucet-Ebook-859x1024.jpg 859w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Installing-a-New-Faucet-Ebook.jpg 955w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 252px) 100vw, 252px\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">After making the adjustment try opening and closing the pop-up sink drain using the lift rod handle and see if the pop-up stopper open and closes properly. If it does not, again adjust the position of the horizontal metal arm on the lift rod until the pop-up stopper works properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Pop-Up Stopper Disconnect from Horizontal Metal Arm<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Another frequent problem that can arise with pop-up stoppers is that the pop-up stopper becomes disconnected from the horizontal metal arm that protrudes into the drain pipe. By loosening the pivot nut you can move the horizontal metal arm in and out of the drain pipe so that it lines up with the square\/round hole in the bottom of the pop-up stopper assembly. Once the horizontal metal arm is located in the hole properly, you can tighten the pivot nut back up.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7042 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Sink Pop-Up Mechanical Assembly\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper2.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"49%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7043\" src=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"How to Fix Sink Pop-Up Stopper Problem\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Sink_Pop_Up_Stopper3.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">For information on installing a shower pan membrane liner for a ceramic tile shower<\/span><\/strong>, see the <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/homeadditionplus.com\/dev\/ebooks\/shower-pan-membrane-ebook\/\">Shower Pan Membrane Liner Installation eBook<\/a><\/strong><\/span> from HomeAdditionPlus.com.\u00a0 The Shower Pan Membrane Liner EBook will quickly teach you the step-by-step process for installing the shower pan membrane liner correctly.
