When I installed this drain plug, the rubber washer beneath the plug protruded long before I tightened the assembly. It seemed that the washer is too large and stretches as I tighten it. It doesn't look very nice. How can I stop that from happening?

so if I recall correctly, there are two washers... a smaller white one that goes in thru the top of the sink, and a much larger black one that seals from the bottom of the sink.... if you are speaking about the larger black washer, the flat side of that washer should be next to the top / flat side of the nut assembly that you screw on from the bottom.... this washer is designed for just about any sink... and note that the nut on the bottom is designed to be hand tightened only..... in your case, I would take off the assembly, make sure the flat side of the large black washer is next to the flat side of the nut that you hand tighten, and reinstall the assembly... simply install it hand tight... until it does not leak... then you will not get this protrusion

Mine is plastic. Never had one come apart but I wouldn't think it'd hurt the washer. If there's particles, probably good to remove them. I'd imagine it's just cleaner though. I'd check into getting it replaced.

I used the on that came with it. I did use some permatex gasket maker. Check the pan one corner was bent. I didnt notice it until I was installing it. Also I have been fighting the drain plug for leaks. I would suggest using a copper washer and some permatex gasket maker before you put it on. Good Luck!

I have never had this problem with this Drain. I would suggest making sure it is tightened down enough so that it is flush with the bottom of the bowl

Make sure the opening is derbies free. Check to see it isn't dented or out of round. you may need to take a small wrench and tighten it a little tighter. Also make sure that your washers are installed right.

For me this is a normal chuck that when you turn the lock nut around the outside the (4) lines on the inside will release, it is possible that the washer that holds those splines together when tightening may have gotten stuck, or bound thermally. This should loosen the bit out of this when loosened. Lefty Loosey.

I don't know about that. We did not have leaking, rather the drainline was constantly getting clogged. We replaced this washer with another brand after 2 1/2 years due to ongoing problem.

First thing I'd try to end the siphoning is to elevate the washer's drain hose. If the washer's drain hose is shoved deep into your home drain pipe, pull most of the drain hose out of the drain pipe and anchor it in that position. The added height should correct the problem.

i dont know .. but in the past i removed the drain cover.. i may have gotten some on in the past and didnt have any problems ...

I don't see this being a problem at all while the washer is in use. However, it looks like hanging the hose from the handle while the engine was hot could cause it to make contact with the hot exhaust manifold.

Make sure your rubber washers are in the connectors, and you may have to use some Teflon tape as well.

I wouldn't know how to fix it. I have two. The silicone washer under the cap fell off,reason unknown. I called Bodum and they sent a replacement right away. I would suggest you call their customer service and advise them the problem. I'm sure they will take care of the problem. Other than the minor problem, they work great.

It was an issue for me too. I tried putting the outside washer on the inside, but it still leaked....so I siliconed it to the top seems to be a fix

This one was not the same at first look. I had to take it a part and turn the top part 180 degrees to make it work in my washer. This wasn't hard to do.

Use another crush washer. Tighten a little, loosen it, tighten alittle more, loosen it, tighten a little more, loosen it, tighten a little more and stop with the logo on the top.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

The washer may have been packed separately. If it doesn't have one, definitely put a new one in. You might also wrap the connection with Teflon tape (plumbing section of the hardware dept) which is always a good idea at any hose/faucet connection.
