Installation Guidelines

19. Apply a generous bead of silicone to the drain collar

and surrounding area on the underside of the tub.
Secure the collar using the gasket (8) and locking nut (9)
provided. Make sure the gasket is positioned so it's flat
side contacts the underside of the tub then tighten the
lock nut.

20. Insert the overflow assembly (1-3) into the overflow

hole. Refer to drawing attached.

21. Tighten the screw (3) to secure the overflow assembly

then thread the cover (4) onto the screw. Adjust the
screw as needed so the Waterworks logo is horizontal.

22. Install the tailpiece (11) using the nylon washer (10) and

nut (12) provided. Do NOT over tighten.

23. Dry-fit the slip joint gasket into the 1 ½" hub then

measure the distance from the finished floor to the slip
joint gasket to make sure the tailpiece will fully insert
into the slip joint gasket. Cut the tailpiece as needed
and remove the slip joint gasket

24. Apply clear adhesive silicone to the outside of the slip

joint gasket then insert it into the 1 ½" hub (drain) then
apply clear adhesive silicone to the inside of the slip joint
gasket. Note the silicone will act as a lubricant then act
as a seal when it cures.

25. With the drain and tailpiece attached, position the tub

so the tailpiece passes through the hole in the floor and
slides into the 1 ½" drain hub as shown.

FINAL INSPECTION:

26. Fill the tub with water to the point where water enters

the overflow opening. Drain the tub while inspecting all
connections above and below the flooring for leaks.

27. Run a bead of tub and tile caulk around the bottom

edge of the tub where it meets the floor. Wipe away
any excess caulk with a wet paper towel.

28. Cover the bathtub surface with a bathtub liner or other

form of protection until construction is completed.
