hello, first post here. Nice forum by the way. I spent some time cruising around reading and I was impressed at the knowledge shared here.
In my 13 year old house, builders put Moen hardware on the bathroom sinks, including Moen pop up drain assemblies. The drain plugs started to not hold water and after a few aftermarket universal plugs not working real great, decided to replace the whole assemblies. I called Moen to find out part number to purchase, they sent free new kits under warranty (wow, ok). The kits are like the original one I took out except the drain plug. My originals were plastic with chrome tops with an o-ring. The replacement is an all metal cast plug with a chrome top that has a little wiggle to it (not meant to come off) and no o-ring. It's metal on metal between the plug and flange. Seems to be a tight fit when the plug is dropped down. Just wondering if a non o-ring plug is normal? Don't know how it's supposed to hold water. And by the way, it's Moen part number 10790.
