Steve Grim –
Seriously over-engineered. The plastic sleeves that “slide” over the lever rod & lift rod are too rigid to work with easily – especially in the cramped space underneath a lav sink. Perhaps if the sleeves were softer rubber material, or if the supplied rod...Read Mores were smaller diameter. When I do this job again I’ll find a more traditional approach.
Bought this EZ Connect Pop-up Plastic Lavatory Drain because it’s easy to take the stopper out to clean hair from the drain. The master bath has two sinks and I installed an EZ Connect Drain in each sink. One stopper came apart, the chrome stopper is attached to the plas...Read Moretic pop-up with a plastic screw. The screw fell out and went down the drain. I got a brass screw at the hardware store and the EZ Connect Pop-up Drain works good. I recommend this product just be sure the screw is tight.
What an absolute piece of crap. The physics don’t work out. The lift rod is too long for the rubber lever linkage and the line running into the sink is way too long.

Does not work. Drain will not stay sealed. When you pull up on the lift rod the drain goes closed. As soon as you release rod it opens. Gravity over rules this device. If there was a lock position or something, then it might work. I’ve adjusted the connection every way I...Read More can figure. As soon as you let go of the lift, gravity wins again and pulls it down opening the drain. Wish I had figured this out before I spent the last hour screwing with it. This thing is going back to Ace Hardware..

The hard rubber molded piece that makes this “EZ” is the definition of frustrating. The packaging ensures it is malformed and twisted, it’s difficult to press the rod into it holding the parts in hand let alone under the sink while you’re trying to hold a completely pointless, too loose o-ring up on the rod. And if you have a faucet like mine where the rod is not perpendicular, well, let’s just say I had to made it work. Maybe there is a better way, but this isn’t it.
This is a piece of junk. It leaks and leaks and leaks .
Water seeps down threads from within the tapered gasket. Tried Teflon tape on threads but leak continues.
Flange does not seat within the drain hole of a standard bathroom basin. It sits about an 1/8 inch...Read More above basin. So even if it didn’t leak there would still be a standing ring of water around the drain after emptying the basin.
The stopper rubber sleeve/lift rod/lever rod is an absurdly engineered system that simply fails to consistently raise/lower the stopper to an effective height.
Rushing to return to Lowes. Regrettably, Lowes (in Manchester NJ) does not have bathroom basin drains from any other manufacturer.

I’ll try not to write as rudely as others have, but there are some important flaws with the “EZ Connect” pop-up: 1. If the lift rod is not absolutely vertical, the rest of the assembly will not align properly, and the lift rod pops out of the linkage arm (and...Read More the “locking ring” is not strong enough to prevent this. In order to make the pop-up work at all, I had to cut off several segments of the linkage arm that wraps around the lever rod. 2.

Peace of junk. The rod does not stay in the sleeve. Only buy if your an idiot like me. The reviews are correct.

Just tried to get this installed. Everything works, until someone pulls up on the stopper and it pops out of the flimsy rubber that is lightly gripping it in place. Very frustrating!
This mix and match pop-up drain assembly gives you the flexibility to pick the sink drain you want and then add the trim finish that matches your existing bathroom decor. Just pick between a plastic or brass drain in the collection and then add the trim color for the lift rod and pop-up stopper; now you have all the complete parts you need to replace the pop-up drain in your bathroom. Unlike ordinary drains, it features an EZ Connect tube that slides and wraps over the lift and lever rods which installs quickly and easily. No more hassle with taking the linkage rod apart to adjust and readjust the lift rod; it is as easy as just sliding the rods into the tube for the proper adjustment. It features a stopper that can be removed for cleaning with just a quarter turn. The universal design will fit most bathroom sinks.

Accessibility Statement
www.danco.com
April 22, 2025
Compliance status
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience,
regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level.
These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible
to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific
disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML,
adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Screen-reader and keyboard navigation
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with
screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive
a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements,
alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website.
In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels;
descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups),
and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag
for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology.
To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on
as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Disability profiles supported in our website
Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over seven different coloring options.
Animations – person with epilepsy can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.
Browser and assistive technology compatibility
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Notes, comments, and feedback
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
