To avoid scratches or damage to the bathtub be sure to set it on cardboard

Very Important! Before proceeding with installation, please check that push

Push the pop-up into a close position and fill the bathtub with cold water
above the overflow level to test for overflow leakage and drain leakage.
Check for any leaks around the drain and pipe. (NOTE: Due to surface tension,
it is normal for a small amount of water to pool around the drain)
If leakage occurs please disassemble the drain line or overflow assemblies and
you can apply a plumbing puy/silicone caulk to fix the leakage.
Once the leakage test was performed you may proceed to the installa.
