How to replace a click-clack plug in a sink?

Replacing a sink plug in the case of a click-clack mechanism is one of the simpler tasks. Thanks to our commitment to the highest quality of our products, the plugs are exceptionally easy to use. Replacing the plug has not caused anyone trouble so far, so we are here to assist and demonstrate how to do it. If you've lost your installation manual, according to which the new plug should be mounted, check if the manufacturer's website contains it as a PDF file. Very often, you can find what you need this way.

1. First, remove the external plug from the opening, which we usually insert and remove freely as needed.
2. Then unscrew the old plug, which is attached to the sink drain, turning it one way until you can remove it freely.
3. Remember to hold the siphon from below at all times so it doesn't fall out when you unscrew and remove the plug. There may be water in it.
4. The place where the old plug was installed will be dirty, so wipe the opening. You must do this very thoroughly to ensure the seal of the new plug fully adheres to the surface. Otherwise, the drain will be leaky and improper installation will lead to water leakage.
5. Take the new plug and unscrew the two main parts connected together. From the top side of the drain, insert the top part so that the gasket placed on it adheres to the sink. The bottom part completes with a gasket.
6. Then set it from under the sink and connect the two parts by screwing them together. Correctly placed gaskets will protect the sink from leaking water.
7. Also, remember to screw the siphon on. In the end, check if everything works by letting water into the pipes with the plug open without blocking the drain.
