American Standard M950145-0020A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What exactly is the American Standard M950145 rod and knob, and what part of the sink does it operate?
It is the lift rod and knob assembly for an American Standard Colony lavatory drain, the vertical rod that rises behind the faucet and pulls the pop-up stopper open and closed. It is the straight version of the rod, and the knob is the pull you grip. Model M950145, ordered as M950145-0020A in chrome. It is a faucet-side replacement part, not the drain body or the pop-up stopper itself.
2) My lift rod snapped off behind the faucet on an American Standard Colony lav faucet. Is this the right replacement?
Yes, if the broken piece is the upright rod with the knob on top, that is what the M950145 straight rod and knob replaces on a Colony lavatory drain. If instead the failure is in the horizontal pivot rod under the sink, the clevis strap, or the spring clip, this part will not fix it, you need the drain assembly hardware rather than the lift rod.
3) What finish does the American Standard M950145 lift rod and knob come in?
Chrome only. The single orderable version is M950145-0020A, and the 0020A suffix is American Standard's polished chrome code. If the rest of your faucet trim is brushed nickel or bronze, a chrome rod will stand out against it, since the rod sits right on top of the faucet deck where it is visible.
4) Straight lift rod versus a knurled or ball-top rod, which do I need for a Colony faucet?
The M950145 is the straight rod version. American Standard used different rod styles across faucet families, and the shape of the knob and the rod profile have to match the hole in the faucet body and the clevis below. If the rod you pulled out has a bend or an offset in it, the straight rod is the wrong geometry and will bind on the faucet body. Match the removed part before ordering.
5) For a multi-unit building with American Standard Colony lavs, is this a part worth stocking?
Lift rods are one of the more common bathroom callbacks, since tenants pull on them hard and the threaded joint at the clevis strips or the rod snaps. Stocking the M950145 straight rod and knob in chrome covers Colony lavatory drains across a property where the faucets are standardized, and it is a hand-tool swap, no drain removal required as long as the clevis screw is accessible.
