Plunger tub drains have a plug situated within the waste and overflow pipe and are triggered by applying a Trip Lever or Turn Style overflow plate. Many of them will come up with a strainer plate to cover up the drain.
Step 1
Find the screws on the trip lever.
Step 2
You will require to take away the screws from the trip lever’s lid plate but detach only one screw from the faceplate in the beginning. With a screwdriver, begin to gently slacken and cut off one of the screws, whichever one, your preference.
Step 3
When one of the screws is separated, keep the faceplate tightly and detach the other screw softly. As the faceplate is untied, it will begin to rotate. Once the faceplate is relaxed sufficiently to turn down (be cautious not to scrape your tub) to disclose the reverse side screw hole, fix the first screw back into the currently visible overflow elbow just a few spins.
Step 4
Now get rid of the second screw entirely while standing onto the faceplate.
Step 5
Pluck the trip lever out and away from the tub wall; you can get to twist it a little for it to come free. With this kind of tub drain, the plug is really within the pipe, not at the drain opening.
Step 6
If necessary, the plug can be altered by either strengthening or relaxing the flexible connection that attaches the trip lever to the plug. The plug must be tweaked to the proper elevation for the bathtub to drain properly.
