If the pop-up assembly is hard to move when you move the pivot rod, it's likely that the pivot rod nut has been tightened down too much and needs to be slightly loosened. Feed the vertical pop-up lever down through the hole behind the spout of the faucet. Before connecting the horizontal pivot rod to the vertical lever, make sure your stopper is in the fully up open position. From below the sink, attach the connecting strap to the end of the vertical pop-up lever.
Tighten the screw on the connecting strap to secure it to the pivot rod. Connect the vertical strap to the horizontal pivot rod by threading the spring clip onto the rod; one end of the clip attaches on each side of the strap. Check to make sure that the pop-up stopper opens and closes fully inside the drain opening.
Finish the job by reconnecting the P-trap to the drain pipe and drain tailpiece. Check for leaks by closing the stopper, filling up the sink, then opening the stopper and letting the water drain out while you look for leaks from below.
Connections that leak can be slightly tightened with channel-type pliers, but take care not to over-tighten them. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.

The hot water pipe for your sink receives hot water from your hot water tank or tankless hot water heater. The hot water pipe is usually located to the left side of the plumbing. In order to get the hot water into the faucet, the hot water pipe is connected to a water supply hose, which then feeds into the left side of the faucet stem.
The cold water pipe for your sink receives cold water from the main water supply of your home. Did you purchase the home in the last 30 days? No Yes. This is a sink pop-up mechanism:. In this graphic, you can see that the pivot rod is connected to the stopper by going through a small circle on the bottom of the stopper.
This allows the pivot rod to pull the stopper down. The pivot rod is connected to the lift rod by the clevis screw and clevis strap. It is also held together by the spring clip, which the pivot rod goes through.
The sides of the spring clip go on either side of the clevis strap. When the lift rod is pulled up, the clevis strap is pulled up as well, which pulls the pivot rod as well. This pulls the small circle on the stopper down, as well as the stopper itself. The bottom of the channel has an outlet hole that lets water flow into the drain just below the basin. The basin and the overflow empty into the same drain pipe, but the overflow is always open and isn't affected by the sink stopper.
If you close the drain of your bathroom sink and fill up the sink basin to the level of the overflow hole, the water will begin draining into the overflow opening and down the drain.
This helps prevent the water from spilling over the top of the basin, but because sink overflow holes are usually small, they may not prevent an overflow for very long. If the faucet is running at full volume, the overflow tube may just delay water from overflowing for a short time. It's a common misconception that the sink overflow prevents overflowing water in the event that the sink drain is clogged.
But the overflow outlet on most sinks is very close to the drain opening in the basin, and it's unlikely that a clog can occur between the drain opening and the overflow outlet so that it clogs up the former but not the latter.
A bathroom sink overflow really protects against overflow when the stopper is closed and the faucet is accidentally left running, not in the event of clogs.
Overflow drains on bathtubs are a bit different and have more distance between the drain opening and the overflow connection. The overflow fitting on a tub can still work to prevent water from overflowing if a clog is close to the tub drain opening. The sink overflow helps the basin drain faster by allowing air into the drain pipe via the overflow channel. When there's enough water in the basin to completely cover the drain opening, the drain can't get air through the water, creating a suction effect that slows the flow of water going down the drain.
