American Standard Extra Long Pivot Rod - AMS-25088

It is the horizontal rod on a lavatory pop-up drain assembly. The ball end seats in the drain body, engages the bottom of the pop-up stopper, and the other end connects to the clevis strap so the lift rod raises and lowers the stopper. This is a repair part for a faucet pop-up assembly, sold as the rod only.

Extra length matters when the drain body sits farther back from the clevis strap than usual, which happens on thick countertops, deep vanity bowls, or offset installs where a standard rod cannot reach the strap. The American Standard 025088-0070A is the long version of the pivot rod for those openings. If your existing rod reaches the clevis with room to spare, the standard rod is the right part.

No. The 025088-0070A is the pivot rod alone. If your pivot nut, ball gasket, clevis strap, or spring clip is worn or leaking, order those separately or replace the whole pop-up assembly. A leaking drain body under the sink is usually the pivot nut gasket, not the rod itself.

Order it as American Standard 025088-0070A. It ships unfinished, which is normal for a pivot rod since it lives inside the drain body and under the sink where nothing shows. Only the lift rod and stopper are visible, so finish matching is not a concern for this piece.

Yes. The 25088 pivot rod is catalogued as a repair part for both residential and commercial use, so one bin item covers lavatory pop-up repairs across a mixed portfolio. Confirm the sinks in question use American Standard pop-up drains, since pivot rod ball diameter and thread vary by manufacturer.

Sometimes. A bent or corroded pivot rod, or one that has slipped out of the stopper hole, keeps the stopper from seating. Pull the pivot nut, check that the rod passes through the hole in the stopper stem and that the rod is straight. If the rod is fine and the stopper still sits high, the problem is usually the clevis adjustment or the stopper seal rather than this part.
