FAQs

What is this product?

This is a spare chrome replacement connector part for a bathroom sink's pop-up waste rod. It connects the stopper mechanism to the lever that operates it.

Is this a complete waste assembly?

No, this is only the rod link connector part. It is a replacement for a specific component within a pop-up waste system, not the entire assembly.

How do I know if this part will fit my sink?

This part is designed for standard bathroom sink pop-up waste systems. It is best to compare the dimensions and connection type with your existing rod link to ensure compatibility.

What tools do I need to install it?

Typically, you will need a wrench or pliers to unscrew and tighten the retaining nut. A soft cloth for cleaning is also useful.

Can I use this with any type of sink drain?

This part is specifically for pop-up waste mechanisms found in many bathroom sinks. It is not designed for other types of drains, such as P-traps or non-pop-up drains.

How often should I check this part?

It is advisable to check the condition of your waste rod link annually or if you notice any issues with the stopper's operation. Regular cleaning can also prolong its life.

What is the warranty for this product?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the time of purchase. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Pop-up stopper does not move

Ensure the rod link is correctly attached to both the stopper and the lever mechanism. Check that no obstructions are present in the drain pipe. Verify the retaining nut is not overtightened, which could bind the mechanism.

Rod link seems too short or too long

This indicates a compatibility issue with your specific waste assembly. Double-check the product specifications against your existing part. Minor adjustments might be possible with certain waste types, but a direct fit is ideal.

Chrome finish is tarnished

Gently clean with a mild soap and water solution using a soft cloth. For stubborn spots, a non-abrasive chrome polish can be used sparingly. Ensure the area is dried thoroughly to prevent water spots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Turn off the water supply to the sink.
  2. Unscrew the retaining nut holding the old waste rod link in place.
  3. Carefully remove the old rod link.
  4. Insert the new E2TRADE rod link, ensuring it aligns correctly with the pop-up stopper mechanism and the overflow lever.
  5. Secure the rod link with the retaining nut.
  6. Reconnect any other parts of the waste assembly as needed.
  7. Turn the water supply back on and test the pop-up mechanism.

Compatibility: This part is generally designed for standard bathroom sink pop-up waste systems. However, variations exist between manufacturers. It is recommended to compare the dimensions and connection points of your existing waste rod link with the E2TRADE HJ8U before purchase to ensure a proper fit.

Care: Clean the chrome-plated rod link with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the chrome finish. Periodically check for corrosion or mineral buildup and clean as necessary.
