Installation Instructions PXDR10 Drain Kit

NOTE: Determine whether drain will be located within the wall, on the indoor side, or will drain to the exterior of the building. Follow appropriate instructions below depending on your particular type of installation.

Internal Drain (optional for new construction)

NOTE: If installing an internal drain, you MUST install a drain kit on the wall sleeve before the wall sleeve is installed.

1.Refer to Figure 3 below and locate the drain within the "Primary" area for best drainage. Maintain at least a 1/2" clearance from the embossed area.

2.Using the mounting plate with the 1/2" hole as a template, mark and drill two, 3/16" mounting holes and a 1/2" drain hole.

3.Remove the backing from the gasket and mount it on the flat side of the mounting plate. (See Figure 4.) Insert the drain tube through the hole in the gasket and mounting plate so the tube flange will be against the wall sleeve.

4.Position the assembly beneath the drilled holes and secure it with #10-24 x 1/2" machine screws and lock nuts provided. Seal the tops of the screws with silicone caulking.

5.Use 1/2" I.D. copper tube, PVC pipe, or vinyl hose (obtained locally) to connect the internal drain tube to the drain system in the building.

6.Referring to Detail A on page 6, locate and assemble the

(2) two cover plates and gaskets over the drain holes at the rear of the wall sleeve. Attach them with the #10 sheet metal screws provided. Make certain that the four overflow slots at the rear of the wall sleeve are not blocked (See drawing of the back of the sleeve on page 6).

7.If a deep wall extension (PXWE) is used, after installing the field supplied flashing, caulk as required. Be sure to caulk around the flashing and the wall sleeve where the hole was drilled for the drain tube.
