FAQs
What type of drain does this clicker assembly fit?
This is a replacement clicker for Kohler *clicker* drain assemblies, not pop-up stoppers or other drain types. Please verify your existing drain mechanism.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Basic tools like a screwdriver or pliers may be needed, depending on your specific Kohler drain assembly model. Access may also require tools for under-sink fixtures.
How do I know if my Kohler drain uses a clicker assembly?
A clicker drain typically has a small knob or lever on the drain cover that you push to open and close the stopper.
Is this part sold individually, or does it come with the whole drain?
This product is a replacement clicker mechanism only, not the entire drain assembly.
What is the weight of this part?
The product weighs approximately 0.03968320716 pounds.
Can I use this if my drain is not a Kohler brand?
No, this part is designed specifically for Kohler drain assemblies and may not be compatible with other brands.
What if the new clicker doesn't fix my problem?
The issue might lie with other components of the drain assembly, such as the stopper seal, the flange, or the drainpipe itself. Inspect these parts for damage or wear.
Troubleshooting
Drain stopper does not move up or down.
Ensure the clicker mechanism is properly seated and all connecting parts are correctly aligned. Check for any obstructions in the drainpipe that might be preventing movement.
Drain stopper does not seal properly when closed.
Verify that the clicker is fully engaging the stopper. Inspect the stopper seal for wear or damage. Ensure the drain flange is clean and properly seated.
The clicker mechanism feels loose.
Check that all screws and fasteners securing the clicker assembly and drain components are tightened appropriately. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the parts.
Difficulty installing the new clicker.
Refer to the specific installation steps for your Kohler drain model. Ensure you have the correct replacement part for your assembly type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This clicker drain assembly is specifically designed as a replacement part for compatible Kohler clicker drain assemblies. Verify that your existing drain assembly uses a clicker mechanism and is a Kohler brand to ensure compatibility. It is not designed for pop-up stoppers or other drain types.
Setup (Installation):
- Safety First: Ensure the water supply to the sink or tub is turned off, if applicable, and clear the area around the drain.
- Access the Drain: Depending on your fixture, you may need to access the drain assembly from underneath (e.g., under a sink) or by removing the drain stopper itself from above.
- Remove Old Clicker: Carefully remove the old or broken clicker mechanism. This usually involves unscrewing or detaching components holding it in place.
- Install New Clicker: Insert the new Kohler Clicker Drain Assembly, ensuring it is oriented correctly.
- Reassemble: Reattach any parts you removed and test the drain stopper's operation.
Care: This is a mechanical part. Keep the drain area clean to prevent debris from interfering with the clicker's movement. No specific cleaning agents are required for the clicker itself; standard drain cleaning practices for your fixture are sufficient. Avoid using excessive force when operating the drain stopper, as this can put undue stress on the mechanism.
