American Standard M962473-2240A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the American Standard M962473 lift rod and knob, and what does it do?
It's the vertical lift rod plus the knob that sits on top of it, the part you pull up to close the drain stopper on an American Standard Princeton centerset lavatory faucet. It operates the pop-up drain assembly through the faucet's clevis and horizontal pivot rod. It is a replacement rod and knob only, not a complete drain body or stopper.
2) My tenant's sink stopper won't stay up. Do I need a whole new drain or just this rod?
If the knob is broken, bent, stripped at the threads, or the finish has failed, the M962473 rod and knob is the fix and you keep the existing drain body. If the stopper itself is chipped, the seal is leaking, or the pivot rod and clevis are corroded, the rod alone won't solve it and you need the pop-up drain assembly parts as well. This part covers the rod and knob only.
3) What finishes does the American Standard M962473 Princeton lift rod come in?
Two finishes: oil rubbed bronze (M962473-2240A) and brushed nickel (M962473-2950A). Order the one that matches the faucet body, since the knob sits above the deck in plain view and a mismatched rod is the first thing anyone notices on a finished lav.
4) Do I have to pull the faucet out to replace the Princeton lift rod?
No. The rod drops down through the hole at the back of the faucet body and connects to the clevis strap under the sink with a screw. Loosen the clevis screw, lift the old rod out from above, drop the new one in, then reset the clevis so the stopper seats fully closed when the knob is up. The faucet body stays in place.
5) Can I use the M962473 lift rod on a widespread or single-hole lavatory faucet?
It's specified for the Princeton centerset, so treat it as a Princeton centerset part. Widespread and single-hole American Standard faucets use their own lift rod lengths and knob styles, and a rod of the wrong length either bottoms out or won't pull the stopper fully closed. Match the rod to the faucet series you actually have.
6) Is this lift rod handed or is there a left and right version?
There's no handing on a lift rod. It's a straight vertical rod through the faucet deck, so the only choice you make is finish, oil rubbed bronze or brushed nickel.
