Review on ๐Ÿšฝ DANCO Price Pfister Bathroom Lavatory Pop-Up Ball Rod - Chrome, 6-1/4 inch (1-Pack, 86783) by Mark Albright

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not compatible with 2006 Pfister faucets

Not compatible with my vintage 2006 Pfister Treviso bath faucet. The bullet was smaller and the threaded cap would not unscrew. I tried using this new rod with the old cap but because the ball was smaller it was loose and I could see it was leaking. Like others, I was hoping to find an OEM part and avoid the generic replacement with the plastic tips sold in big stores. It is surprising that there is no standardization of sizes, even within the same brand. I ended up using the plumber's trick of flipping the head 1/4" or 3/8" on a workbench. Insert the broken end of the rod into the square hole holding the ball. Tap the end with a hammer to push the rod through the ball and expose enough new rod to make it work. Extra points if you snap off the jagged end of the rod with pliers or sand it down with a bench grinder.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Updates
