PREPARATION
- Clean, level, and prepare the floor for installation.
- Place the unit in the exact installed position on the floor and trace the outline of the bath with a pencil or any erasable marking : {figure 1).
- Determine the location of the drain pipe on the floor by taking measurements of the drain and waste location underneath the unit (figure 2).
Note: Drain and waste locations will vary by model. - Using a blanket, cardboard, or other clean protective surface, turn the unit on its side so that the unit is properly supported during drain installation.
- Clean the drain hole area in preparation of setting the drain. The area should be dry and free of any debris.
INSTALL DRAIN & TAIL PIECE HARDWARE
All parts involved in tail piece installation are provided by the installer.
Determine if the tub has a factory installed integral drain or if a field
installed drain is requested. Tubs with factory installed integral drains
continue with instructions. Tubs with field installed drains go to step 10.
Tubs with factory installed integral drains (steps 6-12):
- Apply a bead of clear silicone or plumbers putty around the Drain Body and pass it through the drain hole (figure 3).
- Apply plumbers putty to the Rubber slip gasket and slide it over the bottom of the Drain Body (figure 3).
- Slide the paper washer over the drain body.
- Attach the Drain Body Nut on the Drain Body and tighten until the Nut and Washer have created a seal with the bottom of the bathtub. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (figure 4).
- Insert 1 1/2” rubber slip gasket into the drain waste vent (figure 5).
- Cut tail piece to desired length (will vary for each installation).
- Connect tail piece assembly to drain body (figure 5).
