Easy Clog Removal For A Bathroom Sink! #plumbing #diy #homerepair #homeimprovement

What happens here

Unpack the new 'Price Pfister style pop-up' drain assembly, which features an easier-to-clean design. For plastic drain components, the presenter strongly recommends using silicone sealant instead of traditional plumber's putty to ensure a more robust and leak-proof seal. Apply a continuous bead of GE Advanced Silicone (100% waterproof) to the underside of the new drain's top flange. Also, apply a thin layer of silicone around the rubber gasket that sits under the flange. Carefully place the new drain body into the thoroughly cleaned sink opening from the top, ensuring it sits flush.

Goal: Prepare the new drain's top section with sealant and position it in the sink opening.

What they say

These are like the best adjustable job range ever. That right on there. We got all that cleaned up top and bottom. With these plastic drains these days, I like to use silicone. I've had leaks with this scenario. I don't like it, man. Sit that down right in there. Get this right here on that. Got over it. Hold that down straight. You get this hand tight.
