DRAIN INSTALLATION Note: Because tubs vary in size, measure your space thoroughly before installation. Trim pipes accordingly to ensure a correct fit. Go to the Trimming Drain Pipes section for more information. 1. Apply thread sealant or plumber’s tape to the threads at each end of all pipes prior to installation. If two pipes arrive attached, be sure to take them apart and apply sealant before installing. 2. Connect the tub shoe assembly (A), and rubber washer to the tub drain (B). 3. Install the overflow assembly (C) with the beveled washer, overflow plate, mounting screw (provided) and any other washers or rubber sealing gaskets included. 4.

TRIMMING DRAIN PIPES 1. Connect the overflow and drain assemblies and pipes to the tub. 2. The T-connection will be attached at the points where the drain pipes intersect. Measure and mark each pipe so that the ends reach a little over halfway into the T-Connection hubs. 3. Trim the pipes as necessary with a hack saw with a blade that is suitable for cutting metal.
