American Standard Pop-Up Rod For Williamsburg -Rp- - AMS-M962462

It's the lift rod for an American Standard Williamsburg lavatory faucet, the vertical rod that stands up behind the spout and raises and lowers the pop-up drain stopper. It's a repair part for the pop-up assembly, not the drain body or the stopper itself, so if your Williamsburg faucet still drains fine but the rod is bent, broken, or missing, this is the piece you want.

It's specified for the American Standard Williamsburg faucet line. Lift rods vary in length, thread, and the shape of the knob from series to series, so treat this as a Williamsburg replacement part rather than a universal rod. If the faucet on the lav is a different American Standard series, match the rod to that series instead.

Brushed nickel, ordered as M962462-2950A. That matters for a visible repair: the rod sits above the deck right next to the spout, so a mismatched finish shows immediately. If the rest of the Williamsburg trim is chrome or a brass tone, this brushed nickel rod won't blend in.

Yes, it's a straight repair part for the Williamsburg pop-up, sold as the rod on its own. Bent and broken lift rods are one of the most common tenant-turnover lav complaints, so keeping the brushed nickel M962462-2950A on the shelf means you're changing one piece instead of pulling a whole drain assembly. Just confirm your Williamsburg faucets are brushed nickel trim, since that's the finish offered.

Only if the problem is at the rod. The rod lifts and drops the stopper through the clevis and horizontal pivot rod; if the stopper won't seat and hold water, the usual causes are a worn stopper seal, a loose clevis screw, or a bad pivot ball at the drain body, none of which this part addresses. Replace the lift rod when it's broken, bent, corroded, or the threads at the bottom are stripped so it won't stay connected to the clevis strap.
