bottom of the bathtub. Put a tray beneath the bathtub.
Very Important! Before proceeding with installation, please check that push
scupper plug , drain, and integrated overflow are properly sealed and
tightened.
Push the scupper plug 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 a leakage occurs please disassemble the drain line or overflow assemblies
and you can apply a plumbing puffy/silicone caulk to fix the leakage.
Once the leakage test was performed you may proceed to the installation.
