The Gerber 97-170 Pop-Up Linkage Assembly is a crucial component for your sink or bathtub drain. Let’s dive into the details:

• Part Number: 97-170
• Description: This is a genuine Gerber linkage assembly designed for pop-up drains.
• Function: The linkage assembly controls the movement of the pop-up stopper. When you lift the lever, it raises the stopper to allow water to flow down the drain. When you push the lever down, the stopper seals the drain, preventing water from escaping.
• Finish: The faceplate comes in chrome.
• Included Components:
  • Linkage Rod: The rod connects the trip lever to the pop-up stopper.
  • Clevis Strap: The clevis strap attaches to the linkage rod and provides the necessary leverage for moving the stopper.
  • Adjustment Screw: Allows you to fine-tune the height of the stopper.
  • Ball Rod Nut: Secures the linkage assembly to the drain tailpiece.
• Compatibility: Specifically manufactured as a direct replacement by Gerber.
