      @@breckdiy1981 quick question, I live in apartments and my drain plug got stuck so I tried to lift it and it snapped off. I took it off and found out that the cross inside the drain broke into small pieces. How should I go about this?

    • @breckdiy1981
      @breckdiy1981  3 роки тому

      It’s pretty simple to take the whole piece out where the T is. Take a long handled pliers and stick the rubber handles into the whole to use as a wrench basically.
      Your gonna need to twist the whole thing out and replace it. I believe Amazon should have a replacement.

      @@breckdiy1981 it wasn't. The tub has a cast iron drain with no cleanout that's how old it is. I needed to remove the plug because the drain was clogged with hair. I think the Previous owners put liquid plumber down it rather than removing the plug. The stem rusted to the crossbar as a result.

      You can also use a wrench to hold it, I think it’s a a 1//2 inch wrench.

      If it’s in the up position and you just turn to the left to unscrew multiple times will it come out? There are some different style that don’t need to drop down to unscrew

      Did you get it out?
      You can also try a handle side down of an adjustable wrench and place a screw driver between the handles to try and get enough leverage to unscrew the drain.
      hope this helps.

    When you turn something in a circle, which way is right and which way is left?! 😱 You should say “clockwise” or “counterclockwise”. 😂

      There are a couple things you can do, either use a wrench to hold the post in position. I believe it’s a half inch wrench and then use either adjustable wrench to grab the Circular top or vice grip

      I feel Watco did it way better than a lot of other brands that make the pop/pull up drain stoppers, I’m not a professional plumber but watched 5 or 6 other videos before finding this one which is the same drain I have and is way easier, granted mine is only a year or so old, only time will tell as far as longevity goes! Just my 2 cents.
