        How do we change the adapter from 3/8 inch to 5/16 inch or vice versa? How do we remove one adapter so we can put the other adapter in that place?
        ByOct 21, 2022
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Remove the brass top knob by turning counter-clockwise. You should be able to pop the brass adapter out and place the other one inside. Then use a regular screwdriver as it's threaded into the bathtub drain. Expert Watco customer care support also available at 1-800-308-0864.

              mine won?t stay up when draining the bath. is there some way to remedy this?
              ByJan 28, 2022
              1 Answer | 
              Answer This Question

              Yes there's a simple fix. The top knob should be able to be removed by unthreading knob. Then you will need an allen wrench #10-32 or #10-24 to tighten down the bolt. Replace the knob top. If that doesn't work, expert Watco customer support care is readiliy available at 1-800-308-0864. Watco, The Choice of Professionals and Always A Step Ahead.

                What if 5/16 is to small but 3/8 is to big?
                ByOct 14, 2021
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                This stopper comes with both 3/8" and 5/16" adapters. If neither of these sizes fit your drain, you may need to explore other stopper options.

                Plastic stem not brass as shown
                I ordered and received the 38516-CP, but it instead of having two brass stems as shown and specified, it has a 5/16 stem of brass but the 3/8 threaded stem is white plastic. I needed 3/8 so I installed the plastic one. I expect that if this stopper is kicked while showering, the plastic stem will snap off, then it will not be fun trying to remove the threaded stub that will be left screwed into the bottom of my drain. Would not buy again.

                  The product works perfectly, but could use some instructions since I am not a plumber. Would have made me more confident that I was installing and using it correctly. Home delivery from Home Depot was wonderful, as I needed it right away.

                  This unit so far is very good. It’s only been in for about a month month and a half check back with me in about six months and I’ll let you know how long it lasted for right now it’s doing well.
