INSTALLATION
Disassemble the drain components. Remove the protective
material from the stopper and flange.
Apply a ring of suitable sealant to the underside of the flange,
and insert the flange into the lavatory drain hole.
Assemble the gasket and washer to the flange, and partially
thread nut to the flange. Do not tighten the nut at this time.
Install the washer and the body to the flange, and tighten
securely. Do not use thread sealant.
Turn the body so the seal hole is facing toward the faucet
lift rod location in the rear. Carefully tighten the nut. Do not
scratch the finish. Remove any excess sealant.
NOTE: Do not reposition the body after you have
tightened the nut.
Insert the stopper into the flange. Fit the short end of the rod
into the body seal hole and under the stopper for regular
installations. Fit the rod through the hole in the stopper for
vandal-resistant installations. Loosely secure in place with
the nut. Remove and adjust the stopper so the stopper lifts
about 3/8" when opened. Tighten the nut. Do not scratch the
finish.
Apply thread sealant to the tailpiece. Thread the tailpiece
to the body, and tighten securely.
