snapped part still in basin
snapped off threaded part from old basin
how to install a new pop up waste drain in a new bathroom hand basin ? the original was a 32 x 80 mm pop up type and I will use the same with the replacement [ the original hand basin was Brocken and is now removed ] The original appeared to be set in silastic with a metal ring screwed over the threaded end, after the silastic had set ? However I am not confident that silastic is enough to set it in place ?
PS.
after further inspection of the removed pop up mechanism I suspect that the large retaining nut has been overtightened and snapped the threaded part off the part that fits into the basin. This is how I found it, covered with silastic The plumber has compensated by using a large amount of silastic. There have been no leaks [amazingly ?]
