The Danco Universal Ball Rod for Lavatory Pop-Up Drains is ideal for repairing worn-out, non-functioning pop-up drain assemblies where the lift rod no longer open and closes the bathroom sink stopper. The pop-up ball rod connects a stopper to a lift rod. Replacing the pop-up rod in your sink drain is an easy and inexpensive alternative to replacing the entire drain. This pop up ball rod set has a durable steel construction that will endure the rigors of everyday use. The versatile design fit will fit most faucets and includes balls and cone washers for an easy do-it-yourself installation.

Q:I need clarification about the total length of the universal pivot rod.
I see different numbers on customer Q&A. I would like to know the total length from one end to the other when the small threaded ball is inserted. I need a rod that is under 7 inches.

It fixed the problem as the washer I had was broken. Thinking that was why my sink was flooded underneath, as well as the drain being stopped up and draining slowly. The stopper is very tight going up and down. Not sure if I could adjust it. I felt like I just needed a washer, but had to buy the whole kit. Had to pay for extra things that I will probably never use.

Great product, no rust issues since it's plastic. I have replaced all my 4 bathrooms with this product. It's very easy to install. May need tool to help screw it in all the way or it will slip off.

Everything you need is in this kit. Has 3 different Ball Rod size's. I used the old mounting lock instead of the two nylon locks. Good directions come with the kit. Had no problem at all to install.

Maybe it would work for some sinks, but the bar is too long for mine. I can't seem to find a shorter bar. Also, the picture in the instructions seems fairly useless. Even before I found out that the rod was too long, the plastic balls don't go in far enough onto the rod, so I'm not sure they would stay on. My old rod only had about a quarter inch clearance to the back of the vanity, and the new rod is about an inch longer than the new one, once the ball joint is attached, so it just won't fit in there.

After inspection upon assembly it was used - returned & resold to me - otherwise it works fine

This is a good replacement for a corroded ball rod. The total length is longer than the original so it was a tight fit to install it. For some applications you may need to cut it shorter. Once inserted there was plenty of clearance to back of cabinet and it works well.
