Make the Drain Connections
NOTE: The drain cover and gaskets are included in a small box located within the carton.
Choose the thin drain gasket for PVC drain pipes or the thick gasket for brass pipes.
Apply silicone sealant to the inside and outside surfaces of the drain gasket to act as a lubricant.
Use a rubber mallet and short section of 1-1/2" PVC tubing to install the drain gasket onto the drain
pipe.
Line up the tabs on the drain cover with the slots in the drain body, and insert the drain cover
assembly into the flange.
Press the drain cover several times to make sure the drain opens and closes properly.
Apply Sealant - Optional
If desired, apply a thin, continuous bead of clear or color-matched silicone sealant to the seam
between the bath and the finished floor.
Install the Bath Filler
Install the faucet valve and trim according to the faucet manufacturer's instructions.
Close the bath drain. Fill the bath to the overflow, and check for leaks.

Clean-Up
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not allow cleaners containing petroleum distillates to
remain in contact with the surface for long periods of time.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch and dull
the bath surface. Use warm water and a liquid, non-abrasive detergent to clean the surface.
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal tools
to remove stains, paint, plaster, or tar. Use turpentine or paint thinner to remove stains, paint, or
tar. Use a powder-type detergent on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to any residual
plaster.
