How Slow Draining Sink Turns Into More Work!

What happens here

Take the new Price Pfister style push-down pop-up drain assembly. Apply a generous bead of silicone sealant around the top edge of the drain flange (the part that sits inside the sink basin). Insert the new drain flange into the sink opening. From under the sink, slide the bottom rubber washer onto the drain pipe, then apply silicone sealant to it before screwing on the retaining nut. Hand-tighten the nut, then use channel locks to give it a slight additional turn, ensuring a snug and watertight seal. The video notes that the top washer is often unnecessary with good silicone application, and only the bottom washer was used here with added silicone.

Goal: Apply silicone sealant to the new pop-up drain flange and install it into the sink, securing it with the provided nuts and washers.

The stained black with these plastic drains these days. I like to use Silicone. I know this comes with a washer. I use the bottom washer. I Don't use this top washer. I've had leaks with this scenario. I don't like it man I will use this bottom one, but I'm also going to put silicone on that as well. Take this go right around This whole thing just give it a nice bead There is no overflow hole in the sink just gonna take that Set that down right in there Give it a little squish. We'll clean that up in just a second and I like to just go right around the edge of this Okay Fumbled it just a little bit right there on this edge, but it's gonna be fine get this right here on that Get that over hold that down straight and Start turning you get this hand tight maybe take your chair locks You go just a little bit past that and That's going to be good that is nice secure snugged up 30-minute water ready
