Description
When your bathroom sink does not drain well, quite often it's because
your pop-up stopper is plugged with debris. In a previous video I showed you have to clean out a typical pop-up stopper founder in 95% of the sinks. You can see that video here: http://youtu.be/rSwJpHy4LOQ
But American Standard sinks have a new type of "Speed Connect Drains", with a Cable Connector that controls the pop-up. This video will show you how these types of pop-up drain stoppers work.
A
Hello,
this
is
gia
and
this
is
a
lovely
sink
and
I.
Don't
know
how
many
times
this
has
happened
to
you.
But
how
often
have
you
been
using
your
sink
running
water
and
the
waters
just
starts
backing
up,
and
then
you
discover
that
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
clogging
around
this
pop-up
stopper
here
a
hair
and
debris
gets
caught
up
in
that,
and
you
just
can't
get
off
kind
of
wiggle,
this
back
and
forth,
but
nothing
seems
to
help
and
a
lot
of
these
things.
You
can't
even
push
the
things
off
and
clean
it
out.
A
Well
now
there
are
some
easy
ways
to
clean
out
a
pop
pop
up
stopper,
but
you
just
need
to
know
how
and
I
will
show
you
how
today
I
want
to
back
up
a
little
bit
now
I
have
done
videos
where
I
show
you
how
to
clean
up
pop
up
Stoppers,
but
this
is
kind
of
a
special
case.
Now
this
is
an
American
Standard
faucet,
and
this
is
a
special
kind
of
American
Standard
faucets.
A
I
have
below
and
I'll
direct
you
to
a
link
of
a
previous
video
I
did
and
that
will
kind
of
show
you
how
to
clean
out
those
pop-up
Stoppers
and
those
are
like
95%
of
the
pop-up
Stoppers.
But
back
to
this
American
Standard
I'm
gonna
go
underneath
the
sink
and
I'll
show
you
how
this
looks
a
little
different
from
the
picture.
I
just
showed
you
okay,
so
here
we
are
under
the
sink
and
just
like
any
sink,
you
have
the
p-trap
here
you
have
your
hot
and
cold
running
lines
there.
B
B
A
Connection,
it
looks
totally
different
than
the
image
I
just
showed
you.
You
have
this
kind
of
black
cable
line
coming
down
from
your
little
plunger
and
connected
to
this
kind
of
plastic
mechanical
piece
here.
Well,
this
is
totally
different
than
what
I
just
showed
you,
and
this
is
all
a
new
for
the
American
standard,
speed
connector
drains-
and
this
is
the
cable
connector
that
controls
your
your
pop-up
stopper.
So
I'll
show
you
how
to
disconnect
these
and
get
your
stopper
up
and
clean
out
your
your
drain.
B
B
B
You
know
it
comes
out
on
one
thing,
and
you
get
this
little,
this
even
hair
connected
to
this.
So
this
thing
just
comes
out
and
as
this
rotates,
it
brings
up
your
pop-up
stopper
up
and
down
so
a
little
mechanical
device.
It's
the
cable
that
attaches
that
spins
this
around
and
it
lifts
things
up
or
down,
but
once
you
remove
this,
your
pop-up
should
be
free
to
go.
Okay.
A
We're
so
we're
back
up
on
top
and
again
I
remove
this
little
l-shaped
J
shape,
whatever
you
want
to
shape,
you
call
it
and
this
little
piece
right
there,
so
I'm
just
putting
those
aside,
and
so
this
should
just
if
I
can
get
my
nail
down
here.
This
should
pop
up
okay,
so
I
could
get
my
nail
in
there.
If
you
don't
have
long
nails,
I
don't
have
terribly
long
nails,
but
can
you
want
to
get
a
razor
blade
or
something
get
this
out?
A
There
just
comes
out
nice
and
easy
now
now
this
was
just
an
example.
This
is
not
too
dirty.
You
see
a
little
bit
of
hair,
but
sometimes
you
pull
these
out
and
big
wads
of
hair
come
out
and
you
just
clean
that
off
throw
it
away.
You
probably
want
to
rinse
this
off.
I'll
use
a
different
sink
for
that.
Since
this
one
again
we
took
that
cable
connector
out,
and
so,
if
you
run
water
now
you
just
get
a
bunch
of
water
beneath
your
sink.
A
A
You
make
note
of
where
this
piece
was
this
flat
part
right
here
was
facing
the
spigot,
and
so
you
want
to
replace
it
the
same
way
you
did
when
you
took
it
out.
Unfortunately,
I
don't
have
a
tripod
with
me,
so
I'll
do
this
with
one
hand,
but
just
to
show
you
what
was
going
on
when
this
was
in
your
pipe.
This
little
piece
right
here
was
right
in
here
and
as
you
turn
this
thing,
it
goes
up
and
down
up
and
down,
and
so
this
little
JL
shape
device.
A
That's
what
that's,
what
it
is,
and
so,
when
you
put
this
back
in,
you
have
to
make
that
be
careful.
So
you
make
sure
that
it's
in
properly
like
that-
and
sometimes
it
takes
a
couple
of
times
but
I'll
show
you
that
next,
okay,
so
I
cleaned
it
off
I'm
ready
to
reinstall
again
I
want
that
flat
piece
in
the
back.
If
you
reverse
it,
that
just
means
it
will
just
lay
there
freely
and
not
go
up
and
down
and
just
have
to
it's,
it's
really
not
connected
to
any
mechanics.
A
B
Our
crab
quarters-
and
you
just
take
your
little
L-
shape
device
here-
kind
of
put
it
in
just
like
this,
so
it's
kind
of
facing
down
you'll
see
it's
how
it
works,
first,
get
it
in
there
and
then
kind
of
just
set.
You
know
just
so
it
sets
all
the
way
in
then
you
take
this
little
washer
plate
make
sure
that
the
little
teeth
aren't
on
the
outside
and
you
just
have
to
push
it
in
and
just
so
it
snaps.
B
A
Okay
and
then
to
finish
your
off,
you
just
take
the
little
cable
again.
You
just
put
her
in
the
whole
thing,
and
this
just
you
just
twist
it
back
on
until
it's
firm,
you
don't
want
to
over,
tighten
it
seal,
okay,
so
it's
tight
and
let's
see
sometimes
it
takes
a
couple
times
back
and
forth
to
make
sure
works.
But
let's
go
up
on
top
and
see
if
the
stopper
works
right
now.
A
Okay,
so
we're
up
on
top
and
I
move
it
up
and
down,
and
it's
still
not
working
so
I'm
going
to
go
back
down
readjust
a
little
a
little
l-shaped
component
to
make
sure
it
works
and
see
if
I
could
read
just
that,
so
really
all
I
did
Justin
was
I,
took
my
screwdriver
and
I
kind
of
like
spinned
that
little
piece
around
so
the
L
shape
faces
a
certain
way.
It's
just
because,
as
this
rotates,
there's
either
a
up
position
or
down
position
and
I
actually
installed
that
little
L
piece.
A
So
it
was
in
the
up
position
when
the
little
plunger
was
in
a
down
position.
So
that's
really,
and
so
it
didn't
have
enough
room
to
move,
and
so
you
may
just
have
to
kind
of
fiddle
with
it
to
make
sure
that
everything
kind
of
fits
dude,
each
other,
we'll
go
back
up
and
make
sure
I.
Did
it
right
this
time?
Okay,
so
we're
back
up
again-
and
this
is
the
pop-up-
is
in
the
open
position.
A
A
This
was
a
down
position,
so
they
were
correct.
So
when
I
went
ahead
and
twisted
it
back
on
that
just
made
it
work,
so
just
be
aware
of
that,
when
you
do
your
own
and
I
hope,
this
video
helps
you
again
this
these
American
standards
speak
connector
drains.
Aren't
that
common
they're
getting
becoming
more
common,
but
mostly
those
other
other
versions.
I
showed
you
in
the
former
picture
of
the
most
common.
That's
probably
what's
underneath
your
sink,
but
if
you
have
one
of
these
I
hope
this
video
helped.
You
and
I'll
see
you
next
time.
