Thank you for your question.
Metal vs plastic pop up drain.
Also the drain stopper plastic pipes are covered with black mold that i can brush out.
All the parts are metal except the nylon screw at the bottom of the drain plug that connects to.
Pop up drains usually open and close through a lever that s behind the sink faucet although some drains have levers.

Bleach will stop it for a while.
Grid drains have small holes that can t close so water always drains.
For metal you could use a pipe cutter or a hack saw.

Add an elegant touch and visual interest to your bath space by choosing this delta bathroom sink metal pop up assembly in chrome.
Most people would go for the hack saw because the pipe cutter is very expensive and may not even work as intended for the tailpipe.
This drain is machined from one piece of 304 stainless steel and priced well below what my local home center sells a plastic drain for.
The delta rp5651 metal pop up drain assembly has a metallic shaft.
Is metal that much better is it worth 60 more.
Bathroom sink drains are either pop up drains or grid drains with the difference being pop up drains can close allowing water to build up in the sink.
For the most part plastic pipe and parts have replaced metal because plastic does not rot or corrode and is generally less expensive to install.
I bought a kohler lavatory faucet and it came with a plastic pop up drain assembly should i go and get one with a metal drain assembly instead.
Is the shaft of the pop up made of metal or is it plastic.

Ideal for any budget.
Most modern sink drains are made of polyvinyl.
The removable pop up includes a brass basket hair screen that is easily removed so that it can be cleared.
Plastic is easier to work with overall.
