Pop-Up Basin Drain Universal Pop Up Sink Stopper Plug

Components of Pop Up Drain

Drain Flange: This is the visible part of the drain that sits on top of the sink or bathtub. It usually has a flat surface with holes for water drainage.

Stopper or Plug: The stopper is the movable part of the pop-up drain. It can be raised or lowered to open or close the drain. When the stopper is in the "up" position, water can flow freely through the drain. When it is pushed down, it creates a seal and prevents water from draining.

Rod and Lever Mechanism: Underneath the sink or bathtub, there is a rod connected to the stopper. When you push or pull the lever on the faucet or behind the spout, it moves the rod, which, in turn, raises or lowers the stopper.

Ball or Clevis Joint: The rod is usually connected to the faucet or the lever with a ball or clevis joint. This joint allows the rod to move in different directions and actuate the pop-up stopper.

Pop-up drains are popular because they provide a convenient way to open and close the drain without needing to reach into the water. They are commonly found in bathroom sinks and some types of bathtubs. They are easy to operate and maintain, though they may require occasional cleaning to remove any debris that can affect their functionality.

It's worth noting that there are other types of drain mechanisms as well, such as lift-and-turn drains and push-button drains, but pop-up drains are among the most widely used in modern plumbing fixtures.

How to clean a Pop Up Drain

Cleaning a pop-up drain is a straightforward process that can be done with a few simple steps. Over time, debris, soap scum, and hair can accumulate in the drain, affecting its performance and causing unpleasant odors. Regular cleaning helps maintain proper drainage and keeps the drain functioning efficiently. Here's how to clean a pop-up drain:

Materials Needed:

• Rubber gloves
• Old toothbrush or soft-bristled brush
• Vinegar or mild dish soap
• Baking soda
• Boiling water
• Rag or cloth

Instructions:

1. Put on rubber gloves: Before you start cleaning, it's a good idea to protect your hands with rubber gloves.

2. Remove the stopper: Reach under the sink or bathtub and find the rod that connects the pop-up stopper. There may be a small retaining nut or clip securing the rod to the drain pipe. Loosen or remove it to detach the rod from the stopper. Once the rod is disconnected, you should be able to lift the stopper out of the drain.

3. Clean the stopper: Use a toothbrush or soft-bristled brush to scrub the stopper thoroughly. Pay special attention to any crevices or grooves where debris might be trapped. If the stopper is coated with mineral deposits or soap scum, you can soak it in a mixture of equal parts vinegar and water or a mild dish soap solution for a few minutes before scrubbing. Rinse the stopper with clean water after cleaning.

4. Clear debris from the drain: Use your fingers or a small brush to remove any hair, gunk, or debris from the drain opening. Be gentle to avoid pushing the debris further into the drain.

5. Create a cleaning solution: For a natural cleaning solution, mix equal parts of baking soda and vinegar to form a foaming mixture. Alternatively, you can use a mild dish soap diluted with water.

6. Clean the drain: Pour the baking soda and vinegar mixture or the diluted dish soap down the drain. Let it sit for a few minutes to break down any remaining residue or odors. The foaming action of baking soda and vinegar can help dislodge debris and clean the pipes.

7. Boil water: While the cleaning solution is working, boil a kettle or pot of water.

8. Flush the drain: Carefully pour the boiling water down the drain to flush away the cleaning solution and any loosened debris. Be cautious when handling boiling water to avoid burns.

9. Reassemble the pop-up drain: Once the drain is clean and the water flows smoothly, reinsert the stopper into the drain and reattach the rod as it was before.

By following these steps, you can keep your pop-up drain clean and free from blockages, ensuring proper drainage and preventing potential plumbing issues.
