Whether your bath tub has a strainer or a stopper, the procedure of the journey lever by the end of the tub is basically the same. Moving the lever adjusts collection of rods, or the peak of a fat attached to to the lever by linkage. You reduce the lever to raise off the fat a spring loaded stopper, which immediately closes. You improve the the lever, to another hand, to reduce the fat with no stopper to the drain opening on a drain. In either case, lever installation that is appropriate is basically a matter of modifying the linkage to the appropriate size.
Unscrew and remove the current over-flow if there’s one protect, using a screwdriver. It’s located over the drain and below the spout. As the lever comes connected to a different cover of the same dimension it’s possible for you to discard the cover.
Examine the lever mechanism. It consists of a fat attached to some linkage which is connected to the lever. Lowering or lifting the lever raises or lowers the fat.
Feed the weight and linkage to the over-flow hole and allow the pounds fall. The lever protect on the overflow hole by inserting the device screws that came with all the lever assembly to both holes in the overflow hole and to the cover plate. You don’t have to to tighten the screws completely — sufficient to support the the cover plate.
Test the lever and change the amount of the linkage. In the event the drain does not have have a stopper and you can not raise completely to the lever, the fat is dropping too quickly in to the drain opening. Remove the cover and lift the linkage out. Among the rods is threaded and has adjustment screws. Turn them counter clockwise with pliers to shorten the linkage, then re install it and check the lever.
Lower the lever as soon as you have shortened the linkage enough in order to lift the lever every one of the way up and fill the tub having a little quantity of water. Watch the water, and lengthen the linkage slightly whether or not it drains. Repeat this this process before water is held by the tub.
Use a related method to alter the linkage to get a tub having a drain stopper. Install the linkage, screw on the protect plate and reduce the lever. The stopper seal and should fall the drain. Shorten the linkage till it does, should it not fall completely.
When the stopper falls every one of the way, lift the lever and confirm the stopper opens. Lengthen the incrementally until it does, should it not, or the tub will drain gradually.
Once you’ve completed your changes the screws keeping the lever protect to the over-flow hole.
