American Standard M970275-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the American Standard M970275 lift rod and knob used for?
It is the vertical lift rod with its knob for a faucet pop-up drain assembly. You pull the knob up to close the sink stopper and push it down to open it. The rod links through the faucet body down to the clevis and horizontal pivot rod on the drain. It is a replacement part for the rod and knob only, not a complete pop-up drain body.
2) My sink stopper won't stay up. Do I need a whole new pop-up assembly or just the lift rod?
If the stopper drops on its own, the usual culprit is the clevis screw or the pivot rod, not the lift rod. Replace the rod and knob when the rod itself is bent, stripped at the threaded end, corroded, or the knob is broken or finish-worn. The American Standard M970275 covers the rod and knob only, so if the drain body or tailpiece is leaking you need a full pop-up assembly instead.
3) Will the M970275 lift rod fit any brand of faucet?
Treat it as an American Standard part. Lift rods vary in length, diameter and thread pitch between manufacturers, and the knob has to pass through the hole in your faucet deck. On a non-American Standard faucet, match the rod from that faucet's own parts list rather than substituting this one.
4) Is any other hardware needed to install the American Standard lift rod and knob?
The rod and knob are what you get. The clevis strap, clevis screw and horizontal pivot rod under the sink stay in place and get reused, so plan on reusing those unless they are also worn. No tools beyond a screwdriver are normally needed to loosen the clevis screw, drop the old rod out and set the new one.
5) For a property with a lot of American Standard lavatories, is it worth stocking lift rods as an MRO item?
It is a common wear part in multi-family and hospitality washrooms, since the knob gets grabbed hard and the finish rubs off long before the faucet fails. Stocking the M970275 in the finish used across your buildings, chrome, brushed nickel or legacy bronze, lets maintenance swap a rod in minutes instead of pulling a whole faucet.
