Replace Bathroom Sink Drain Assembly Instructions

Replacing a bathroom sink drain assembly is a relatively simple task that can be completed with a few basic tools and a little time. By following these step-by-step instructions, you can save yourself the cost of calling a plumber.

Before you begin, gather the following tools and materials:

* Adjustable wrench * Phillips head screwdriver * Flat head screwdriver * Bucket or bowl * Rags * New drain assembly

Safety first!

Before you begin, turn off the water supply to the sink. You can do this by turning the shut-off valves under the sink or by turning off the main water supply to your home.

Step 1: Remove the old drain assembly

* Use the adjustable wrench to loosen the slip nut that holds the drain assembly in place. * Once the slip nut is loose, you can remove the old drain assembly by hand.

Step 2: Clean the drain hole

* Use the rags to clean the drain hole of any debris. * If the drain hole is clogged, you can use a drain snake to clear it.

Step 3: Install the new drain assembly

* Place the new drain assembly in the drain hole. * Tighten the slip nut by hand until it is snug. * Use the adjustable wrench to tighten the slip nut further, but do not overtighten.

Step 4: Connect the drain to the P-trap

* Connect the drain pipe from the drain assembly to the P-trap. * Tighten the nuts on the drain pipe until they are snug.

Step 5: Turn on the water supply

* Turn on the water supply to the sink. * Check for leaks around the drain assembly. * If you find any leaks, tighten the nuts on the drain pipe further.
