Step 5: Replace trap and clean-out plug
Replace the drain plug in the sink and push the control rod back into the hole in the drain pipe, through the drain-plug hole. Fasten the nut by hand. Replace the clean-out plug or drain trap. Use plumber's compound on the clean-out plug to create a seal. Fasten first by hand, then tighten until snug with a plumber's wrench. Do not overtighten. Run hot water into the drain, flushing out any remaining debris.
 Use a wrench to tighten the clean-out plug.
