Apply thread sealant tape to the tailpiece threads, then thread the tailpiece to the body. Tighten the tailpiece securely.

Slide one end of the clip onto the rod. Slide the link onto the lift rod with the thumbscrew facing the back of the ﬁxture.

Squeeze the other end of the clip, aligning the hole with the rod. Move the link to the proper position by squeezing the clip and sliding it along the rod.

Insert the lift rod into the hole in the body and then into the hole in the link.
