I've have replaced my bathroom sink and faucet. I now have a brand new pedestal sink and have attached a new Price Pfister facuet assembly. The model number is "972-070". I have tried to attach this twice now, and both times it has ended up leaking at the point underneath the sink where the drain body attaches. It appears that the rubber washer, after the locknut has been tightened appropriately (at least I believe it has been tightened properly) is not seating well enough to/into the the drain opening. The installation directions indicate that the rubber washer must "seat securly inside the Drain Opening". I focus on the word "into" as the rubber washer still peaks out a bit on the botom and can be wiggled around a bit if pushed/manipulated by hand.
My concern is that if I tighten the nut too much that things may start to fracture/break (ie, the drain body itself, the porceline sink, etc). I've used all the stuff that folks say to use- plumbers putty, tape- all that. I know where the leak is- I just can't stop it.
Any suggestions?
