Hi guys,
I have a comparatively small problem. I have a sink with an installed eccentric rod drain valve and overflow. Now I would like to install a different valve, but unfortunately I don’t know which one is installed here! After dismounting the siphon and the rod itself, I’m hesitant to go further. “Light” turning on the lower part didn’t help, now my question is more whether I can turn it firmly without destroying it (using pliers and such) or if I need to consider other things?!
It should be mentioned that my plumbing knowledge is limited to Google, YouTube and learning by doing, but before I start hammering on it, I would like to be sure that I won’t break anything. The sink is supposed to remain intact
