Troubleshooting

Drain is leaking after installation

Verify that the fiber and rubber washers were properly seated and that the drain body was tightened sufficiently using the wrench. Check for any cracks or damage in the shower stall base or drain components.

Wrench is difficult to turn

Ensure the wrench is properly seated on the drain body's securing nut. Check for any obstructions or debris. If the drain is overtightened, it may require careful loosening and re-tightening.
