You explained this better than anyone I have read or watched. Finally, a drain that is NOT LEAKING!!!

Leaving a comment in case it helps someone. I installed a new marble vanity with a new pop up drain and I tightened the heck out of that nut and it still kept leaking right where the large gasket meets the bottom of the sink. And eventually what I tried that fixed it was to flip the gasket upside down. Yep seems crazy, but it worked and it doesn't leak anymore. And the reason why is when they make these cultured stone sinks they don't clean out the inner diameter of the drain very well (has a rough uneven edge) but they do machine the bottom surface. So by flipping the gasket it was up against that nice clean even side and it sealed right up. I could have went the silicone route but I didn't want a bunch of silicone in there for the next time the drain has to be replaced. Another option to try if you are stuck.

I clogged my drain and disassembled everything, removing putty I found and all. And of course I realized I had no idea how to put it back together 😂 thanks so much!

[Softykins]

THank you much! You have no idea how much you helped us. We were so lost and had leaking that we couldn't figure out. 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the video... 3rd time disassembling...thicker gasket did the trick.

[danbeidler]

Thanks for showing the plumbers putty vs gasket. I used both 1st time. This time, I'll just use the putty! Great clarification! THANK YOU!

I've had 2 diff. ones installed "by the directions" go bad now in the last 30 hours. Bath remodel almost done ... and now my guy is unavailable for another few days. Remodels in Rural Lands is about to cure me of this hobby I so enjoy! On my 6th house remodel since my husband passed 20 years ago . . . paying it forward to make up for things I did in my teens ;)

I ran across your video I just purchased a new bathroom faucet, I’m single trying to figure how to install the plunge part, I was a Lowes I was told you shouldn’t use putty on ABS plastic pipe or the plunge, I was told to only use clear silicone. Interesting you add the putty. Good video.

Perfect! I will use the after market washer to stop the leak

Some sink assemblies come with a nylon type of flat washer (called a friction washer) that goes on between the rubber washer and nut that helps prevent the whole assembly from turning as you tighten the nut. Thus no need for the pliers.

My drain in the bathroom needs replacing. He makes it seem so easy. I feel like I could do it myself.

This is the video I have been looking for. Very informative step by step instructions and replacement gasket info that is very interesting. I totally appreciate someone showing that projects do not need a group of people to do this and that one guy can DIY!!!! Keep up the excellent instructional work!!!!

Great help, I'm so glad that I watched this video before I did my install. Thanks

[nathanmahony]

Great video man you hit all the points I was getting from other people (piece by piece) in this one tutorial. Much appreciated.

[peath]

Ugh! I wish I'd thought to watch this before I had to jerry rig mine so much. I totally installed mine wrong. Now I'm thinking of getting a new assembly and starting over. Great video. Thanks so much for all the tips. Very easy to understand, vand you explain why you are doing each step.

So I just remodeled our downstairs half bath including a stand alone vanity and new top however the traditional stopper that came with the faucet set wouldn’t work due to room constraints, also it wouldn’t drain very fast so I changed over to a pop up stopper and it solved both issues.

[cathyclayborne]

Best instructional video I have had the opportunity to watch. Thank you!

[rosemarybaker]

I needed a video that shows each part of the assembly and parts. I had searched and searched. This is the ONLY video that shows what I need. Somebody disassembled and lost all the assembly parts and I needed to know what part I am missing. So….thank you! I know now which piece is missing. I’ve installed other drains but not a pop up. Other videos literally don’t show each part.

[SaphireIIS]

Thank you for this. Just installed a whole new vanity etc and the dang thing is leaking at that top gasket. It just won’t seal. This should def solve the issue!!

Plumber's Putty label says "Do not use on plastic parts." I use silicone instead. Thanks for sharing the video.
