American Standard Pop-Up Rod - AMS-M962475

It's the lift rod for an American Standard faucet pop-up drain assembly, the vertical rod that sits behind the spout and pulls up to close the drain stopper. It replaces a bent, stripped, or missing lift rod on a faucet that already has a pop-up assembly, ordered as part number M962475-0020A. It is a rod only, not a complete drain body, stopper, or clevis strap.

Treat it as an American Standard service part. It is sold as an American Standard faucet pop-up component, so it is meant for American Standard faucets that use this rod. On another brand the rod diameter, threaded end, and overall length may not match the clevis strap or the hole in the faucet deck, so match the part number to your faucet model before ordering.

Chrome, and that is the only finish it is built in. If the rest of your trim is brushed nickel or another finish, this rod will not visually match it, since the lift rod is the one piece of the drain assembly that stays visible above the deck.

If the rod itself is bent, corroded, or the threaded end has stripped where it screws into the clevis strap, the rod alone fixes it, and this chrome lift rod is that part. If the stopper seal is worn, the pivot ball is leaking, or the drain body is corroded, the rod will not solve it and you need the drain components instead. Property managers replacing rods across a batch of lavatories can order this one part number rather than full assemblies.
