Hi all,

I need to replace my bathroom monobloc mixer tap, which is leaking.

The existing one has an integrated 'rod' (behind the tap body) which
you pull up/push down, to operate the plug.

The one I want to replace it with comes with 'pop up waste', which
seems to be a small lever at the rear of the tap.........

My question is, will this work with my existing sink plug mechanism or
is a totally differant system, not just a differant tap plug lever
design?

If I buy a tap with a rod type lever instead, are they interchangable
i.e. is a rod system a rod system?

Sorry for my total tap ignorance!

Regards

David

I have just replaced mine,the kind with the rod which operates another rod that
sits in an adaptor that is situated above the trap. Does your replacement not
come with such an adpator that you have to use .?

Thanks, I have just ordered one from Screwfix, which does have the rod
design, hopefully it will work with the existing above trap connection
for the plug - fingers crossed!

If not I will be back no doubt!
