I'm installing a moen tub waste overflow drain w/trip lever and can't figure out how the plunger/stopper can stop the water from draining. I've attached three pics to show my dilemma: 1) "moen instructions.JPG", 2) "plunger tee side by side.JPG" and 3) "plunger in tee.JPG".
The first pic shows Moen's instructions for adjusting the plunger linkage in the overflow pipe.
The second pic shows the plunger next to the tee. It depicts where the plunger bottoms out inside the overflow pipe and tee.
Pic 3 is a view of the plunger inside the tee.
What I can't figure out is how the plunger when fully seated in the overflow and tee can possibly stop the water from draining out of the tub. It stops in the tee above the connector where the tub drain connects. Has anyone installed one of these and can this be right?
