🛁✨ A customer came to us with an original vintage drain fl**ge still installed in his vintage tub.
When he tried replacing it with a modern Kohler push-push drain fl**ge, the diameter was almost identical — but the threads didn’t match 🔩❌

Instead of tossing the original piece, Ragnar had an idea 💡
We carefully transplanted the modern internal components into the original vintage fl**ge, then refinished it to match the look of the new drain.

The result? 🙌
✔️ Original vintage appearance
✔️ Modern push-push functionality
✔️ Clean, timeless aesthetic

All while preserving the integrity of the original fixture 🕰️✨
This is what thoughtful preservation looks like.

🛠 How a 100-Year-Old Standing Waste Works

In this short clip, we break down how a classic standing waste operates and show the condition this 100-year-old unit was in when it arrived at The Sink Factory.

💧 How it works:

Plunger down → blocks the water outlet

Rotate the plunger → lifts and allows water to drain

This standing waste came to us in very rough shape and required a custom restoration approach.

🎥 How to Change an OLD Sunrise Specialty Faucet Cartridge (Pre-1997)

Sunrise Specialty faucets manufactured up to about 1997 use an older internal design. This video walks through the correct process to safely remove and replace the cartridge.

🔧 Step 1: Remove the handle screw

Old-style versions use a 10-32 handle screw, available on our website.

🔧 Step 2: Remove the bonnet nut

The bonnet nut holds the stem and cartridge in place and is also available on our website.

💡 Pro Tip:

After removing the bonnet nut, reattach the handle and screw, then pull the entire cartridge and housing out together. This method makes removal easier and helps prevent damage.

⚠️ Important:

There are no direct replacement cartridges for these old Sunrise Specialty faucets on the open market.

✔️ The Sink Factory has developed a modern washerless cartridge engineered to fit and function correctly in these older fixtures — available on our website.

🚫 We strongly recommend not attempting to rebuild the original cartridge. Installing a new cartridge is the safest and most reliable solution.

🔩 Reassembly Tip:

Tighten the bonnet nut until the cartridge and handle cannot rotate past the closed position. Proper tension is critical for correct operation.

📌 Disclaimer:

The Sink Factory is not responsible for damage caused during repairs. If you are not a licensed professional, please consult a qualified plumber.

🔧 Sunrise Specialty Old Style vs. New Style Faucets

They may look the same on the outside, but internally they are very different.

✔️ Old Style = traditional compression valve

✔️ New Style = modern washerless valve

Key differences include:

• Bonnet / beauty nut size

• Cartridge & stem tip design

• Handle screw type

🛠 Pro tip: When replacing cartridges, always replace the washers too (SKU: BF-005 / 03-3) for smooth, long-lasting performance.

💧 With proper maintenance, these faucets can last for decades.

This video showcases a custom console leg system manufactured in-house at The Sink Factory, built specifically for a customer’s antique top. The entire setup was refinished in a brushed nickel finish, creating a clean, cohesive look while preserving the character of the original piece.

The installation features an RB1 spout by Chicago Faucets in brushed nickel, customized by The Sink Factory, paired with custom handles also produced by our team. From the leg system to the spout and handles, every component was carefully selected and finished to work together—and all of these items can be found on our website.
