Speed Connect™ Drain

Troubleshooting Guide

If sink does not hold water even though Stopper is in the “down” position:

• Follow CABLE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE.

If Stopper does not raise up fully or sink drains too slowly:

• Follow CABLE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE.

If you need to remove the Stopper:

• Follow STOPPER REMOVAL PROCEDURE.

If you would like the ability to remove your Stopper simply by lifting it out of the drain:

• Follow STOPPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE for “Unlocked” mode.

CABLE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE

Disconnect the Cable from the Drain by threading the Cable Connector (1) counter-clockwise. Fig. A.

Look at the area on the Drain Body where the Cable was attached and locate the component labeled as
“Cam” in the illustration. Fig. B.

Use a small screwdriver to rotate the Cam in the clockwise direction as far as it will go. At this point the
Stopper should be in the UP position. Fig. B, C.

Push DOWN on the Lift-Knob to make sure it is fully down. Fig. C.

Re-attach the Cable to the Drain Body Connection (2) by threading the Cable Connector (1) clockwise onto the
Drain Body Connection (2) and hand-tighten. Fig. A.

STOPPER REMOVAL PROCEDURE

Disconnect the Cable from the Drain by threading the Cable Connector (1) counter-clockwise. Fig. A.

Look at the area on the Drain Body where the Cable was attached and locate the component labeled
as “Cam” and “Cam Cap” in the illustration. Fig. B.

Use fingers or small screwdriver under either side of the Cam Cap to pry it out from the Drain. Fig. D.

Remove the Cam by pulling it straight out while wiggling gently to loosen the Rubber Seal. Fig. E.

The Stopper can now be removed by lifting it out of the Drain. Fig. F.

STOPPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

The Stopper can be installed two ways, “Locked” Mode (Stopper cannot be
removed) or “Unlock” Mode (Stopper is removable).

Locked Mode:

Look at the Plastic Loop at the bottom of the Stopper and notice
that the Loop is on one side of the Stopper. Fig. G.

To install the stopper in “Locked” mode, insert the Stopper into
the Drain so that the Plastic Loop is facing toward the rear of the
Sink and the American Standard logo is facing front. Rotate
Stopper slightly if necessary so that the Stopper slides all the
way down.Fig. G.

Re-install the Cam into the Drain, rotating the Cam if necessary
to make sure it is fully inserted. Fig. J.

Re-install the Cam Cap, making sure the guide teeth are facing
outward. If the Cam Cap does not “snap” into place, then rotate
the Cam to make sure it is fully inserted. Fig. K.

Re-attach Cable. See “CABLE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE” in
Troubling Shooting Guide to complete installation. Stopper will be
in “Locked” mode and not be removable.

Unlocked Mode:

Look at the Plastic Loop at the bottom of the Stopper and notice
that the Loop is on one side of the Stopper. Fig. H.

To install the stopper in “Unlocked” mode, insert the Stopper into
the Drain so that the Plastic Loop is facing toward the front of the
Sink and the American Standard logo is facing rear. Rotate Stopper
slightly if necessary so that the Stopper slides all the way down.
Fig. H.

Re-install the Cam into the Drain, rotating the Cam if necessary
to make sure it is fully inserted. Fig. J.

Re-install the Cam Cap, making sure the guide teeth are facing
outward. If the Cam Cap does not “snap” into place, then rotate
the Cam to make sure it is fully inserted. Fig. K.

Re-attach Cable. See “CABLE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE” in
“Troublingshooting Guide” to complete installation. Stopper will be
in “Unlocked” mode and removable.
