American Standard M962599-2950A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly comes with the American Standard M962599-2950A lift rod and knob?
You get the lift rod plus the knob that threads onto its top end, the part you pull up to close the drain. It is a faucet part, not a complete drain, so the pop-up plug, tailpiece, and pivot rod are not included. If your drain body is fine and only the rod or knob is bent, corroded, or missing, this is the piece to order.
2) Will this American Standard lift rod work with my sink drain, or do I need a whole new pop-up assembly?
It is a pop-up assembly component, so it works with an existing American Standard pop-up drain where the rest of the assembly is intact. The rod rides through the hole at the back of the faucet body and connects to the clevis strap below the sink. If the pivot rod, seal, or the plug itself is the problem, replacing just the rod and knob will not fix the drain.
3) What finish does the American Standard M962599 lift rod and knob come in?
Brushed nickel only, under part number M962599-2950A. If the other trim on the lavatory, the faucet handles, the escutcheon, the drain flange, is chrome or bronze, the rod will stand out, so match the finish before ordering for a visible fixture. For a property manager standardizing on brushed nickel across units, this is the matching rod.
4) Is a lift rod the same thing as a pop-up drain stopper?
No. The lift rod is the vertical pull on top of the faucet; it transfers your pull down through a clevis and pivot rod to raise and lower the stopper inside the drain body. The M962599-2950A is the rod and knob portion of that linkage. If water is not holding in the basin, suspect the stopper seal or pivot ball rather than the rod. If the knob spins free, snapped off, or the rod is kinked, this is your part.
5) Can I cut this American Standard lift rod shorter to fit my installation?
Lift rods are routinely trimmed at the bottom end to suit the counter and faucet height, and the clevis screw then clamps onto the shortened rod. Cut from the bottom, never the knob end, since the knob threads on the top. Set the stopper height first with the clevis, then trim only what is left protruding.
