Removing A Delta Bathroom Sink Drain

Removing a Delta Bathroom Sink Drain

Delta bathroom sink drains are designed to be durable and long-lasting. However, over time, they can become clogged or damaged and need to be replaced. If you're experiencing problems with your Delta sink drain, you can try to remove it and clean it or replace it with a new one.

Removing a Delta bathroom sink drain is a relatively simple process. However, it's important to follow the steps carefully to avoid damaging the sink or the drain. Here are the steps you need to follow:

1. Gather your tools.

You will need the following tools:

A pair of pliers

A flathead screwdriver

A cloth or towel

2. Turn off the water supply.

Before you start, turn off the water supply to the sink. This will prevent water from leaking out when you remove the drain.

3. Remove the pop-up assembly.

The pop-up assembly is the part of the drain that allows you to open and close the drain. To remove the pop-up assembly, use a pair of pliers to loosen the nut that holds it in place. Once the nut is loose, you can pull the pop-up assembly out of the drain.

4. Remove the drain flange.

The drain flange is the part of the drain that is attached to the sink. To remove the drain flange, use a flathead screwdriver to loosen the screws that hold it in place. Once the screws are loose, you can pull the drain flange off the sink.

5. Clean the drain.

Once you have removed the drain flange, you can clean the drain. Use a cloth or towel to wipe away any debris that has accumulated in the drain.

6. Reinstall the drain flange.

Once the drain is clean, you can reinstall the drain flange. To do this, simply align the drain flange with the sink and tighten the screws that hold it in place.

7. Reinstall the pop-up assembly.

To reinstall the pop-up assembly, simply insert it into the drain and tighten the nut that holds it in place.

8. Turn on the water supply.

Once the pop-up assembly is reinstalled, you can turn on the water supply to the sink. Check for leaks around the drain to make sure that it is properly installed.
