I called a plumber to install a new bathroom faucet since my old one is messed up. He will be out in a few days.
My prior faucet is has a pull up drain stopper in the back of the faucet.
The new faucet that I purchased has a push button drain assembly, but when I searched around on the internet it looks like this is for overflow sinks. The pipe has holes in it.
My sink doesn't have an overflow hole in it. I'm assuming that I would need to buy a new non-overflow pipe to make everything work correctly with the new fixture.
My main question is this. If I purchase a different faucet with a pull up drain stopper in the back, can I just keep my original drain pipe, stopper Etc. and just have the plumber connect the metal rod from the new faucet to the existing horizontal thing that the metal rods connects to and just skip buying the pipe and installed the new push button stopper Etc? Should most of the metal rods be universal in length Etc?
The reason I ask is because my drain stopper now is metal and really nice. The one that I would replace it with is plastic. I would also rather have the plumber do less removal of items Etc.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
