Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the 1 1/2-inch waste connection aligns properly with your existing pipework. Begin by attaching the waste outlet to the base of the tub, followed by the overflow connector, ensuring all rubber gaskets are seated correctly to prevent leaks. Tighten the compression nuts by hand, followed by a slight turn with a pipe wrench if necessary, being careful not to overtighten. Regular care involves checking that the trap remains clear of hair or debris. If the drain begins to flow slowly, simply unscrew the bottom trap segment to remove any buildup and rinse thoroughly with clean water before reattaching.
