There are many small challenges in bathroom plumbing that face the homeowner and that frequently get back to the plumber Here is one challenge related to the sink popup The humble sinkpop-up is useful device but also at times frustrating to deal with when it doesn't work properly. Its mechanisms are hidden and a bit difficult to get at when the pop up isn't working as it should. However, with a good wrench, and a little know how and some grease, most pop ups can be repaired rather easily. In this article, I will consider what to do when the pop up won't stay in the up position The cause of this problem is the pivot nut, that metal piece that holds the horizontal (pivot) arm onto the (vertical), popup assembly. In order for the stopper to stay down, (which holds the popup assembly up – against the force of gravity - there must be pressure against the ball which is affixed to the internal end of the horizontal rod. Tightening the pivot nut increases the pressure, allowing the ball on the horizontal rod, causing it to maintain either the open or closed position. However, Before finishing, remove the nut and place a little plumber's grease, or Vaseline on the ball, nut, seat and nut's threads. This will ensure that the popup mechanism will have a nice effortless motion and will provide for easy disassembly, if needed, in the future. Be sure not to lose any washers or sets when loosening the nut, because you might have difficulty locating spare parts, and you'll be forced to replace the whole assembly!
