Installation

1. Remove the clear protective film covering the Waste Seat (#2).

2. Apply a small amount of sealant, around the bottom of the Waste Seat (#2) and position it in the drain opening.

3. Wrap thread seal tape clockwise around the threads on the Tail Piece (#5) and thread the Tail Piece (#5) onto the Drain Body (#3).

4. Above the sink hold the Waste Seat (#2) in place, and thread the Drain Body (#3) to the Waste Seat (#2) ensuring the Pivot Rod opening faces the back of the sink.

5. Below the sink, push the Drain Gasket and Washer (#4) up to the drain opening and tighten the lower Mounting Nut (#4) by hand and finish with adjustable pliers. 

6. Wipe any access sealant, from around the Waste Seat (#2).

7.Remove the metal Pivot Rod Nut (#7) to ensure the white nylon Pivot Rod Seat (#6) is in place, tucked in the Pivot Rod opening with the cupped side facing out. Above the sink, slide the Waste Plug (#1) into the sink drain opening.

  • Vandal Resistant (Waste Plug cannot be removed) -insert the Pivot Rod (#10) through the opening at the bottom of the Waste Plug (#1).
