American Standard M962482-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the American Standard M962482 pop-up rod, and where does it go on the faucet?
It is the lift rod for an American Standard faucet pop-up drain assembly, the vertical rod that stands up behind the spout and pulls the drain stopper open and closed through the linkage below the sink. It is a replacement part for the pop-up assembly, not a complete drain, so the tailpiece, pivot rod and stopper are separate items.
2) My sink drain stopper won't stay up. Do I need a whole new drain or just the rod?
If the stopper itself seats and seals fine and the trouble is a bent, stripped or missing lift rod, the M962482 rod on its own restores the action. A stopper that drops on its own while the rod still moves freely is usually the pivot rod or the clevis strap slipping, and this rod will not fix that. A worn stopper seal or a leaking body means replacing the pop-up assembly.
3) Is the American Standard pop-up rod M962482 available in anything other than chrome?
Chrome is the only finish offered, ordered as M962482-0020A. If the other trim on the sink is brushed nickel or bronze, a chrome lift rod will not match it visually.
4) Will this American Standard lift rod work on a faucet from another brand?
It is an American Standard service part for American Standard faucet pop-up assemblies. Lift rods differ between makers in thread size at the knob and in overall length, so treat it as an American Standard replacement rather than a universal fit.
5) How do I order the right American Standard pop-up rod part number?
Order by the full manufacturer number M962482-0020A. The -0020A suffix is the polished chrome finish code American Standard uses across its trim parts, and it is the number to quote for a maintenance order or a parts crib.
6) Is the lift rod knob included, or just the rod?
The item is the pop-up rod itself. On American Standard lavatory faucets the rod threads into the finial or knob at the top and into the clevis strap at the bottom, so if the existing knob is intact you reuse it; if it is missing, source the matching finial separately.
