Installation Instructions
Tools Required: Plumber's putty or silicone sealant, adjustable wrench, screwdriver.
- Prepare the Sink Drain Opening: Ensure the sink drain opening is clean and free of debris. Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange (the top part of the pop-up assembly that sits in the sink).
- Insert Drain Body: Insert the drain body through the sink drain opening from the top. Ensure the overflow opening on the drain body aligns with the overflow channel in the sink.
- Secure from Below: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, then the friction washer, and finally the mounting nut onto the threaded portion of the drain body. Hand-tighten the nut, then use an adjustable wrench to tighten it securely. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Lift Rod: Insert the lift rod through the faucet body (if applicable) and connect it to the horizontal rod of the pop-up assembly. The horizontal rod extends from the side of the drain body.
- Adjust Stopper: Insert the removable stopper into the drain body. Adjust the connection between the lift rod and the horizontal rod to ensure the stopper opens and closes properly. The knob on the lift rod should allow the stopper to fully seal the drain when pushed down and fully open when pulled up.
- Test for Leaks: Fill the sink with water and check for any leaks around the drain assembly. Tighten connections as necessary.
Important: Always follow local plumbing codes during installation.
Operation
The Jones Stephens P35-001 Pop-up Assembly is designed for simple operation. To close the drain and retain water in the sink, push down on the lift rod knob, which will lower the stopper into the drain opening. To open the drain and allow water to flow out, pull up on the lift rod knob, raising the stopper.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome-plated surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Stopper Removal: The stopper is removable for cleaning. Simply pull it straight up to remove it from the drain body. Clean any hair or debris that may have accumulated.
- Lubrication: Periodically check the pivot point of the horizontal rod for smooth operation. A small amount of plumber's grease can be applied if movement becomes stiff.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Drain leaks around the flange. | Improperly sealed or loose mounting nut. | Tighten the mounting nut. If leaking persists, remove the drain, reapply plumber's putty or sealant, and reinstall. |
| Drain leaks from the horizontal rod connection. | Seal around the horizontal rod is compromised or loose. | Ensure the nut securing the horizontal rod is tight. Replace the O-ring or gasket if damaged. |
| Stopper does not open or close fully. | Lift rod adjustment is incorrect or debris is obstructing the stopper. | Adjust the connection point on the lift rod. Remove the stopper and clean any debris from the drain body. |
| Slow draining. | Accumulation of hair and debris in the drain. | Remove the stopper and clean the drain body and stopper thoroughly. |
