DRAIN CONNECTION ASSEMBLY AND LEAK TEST

Follow instructions provided with drain for proper assembly procedure. Provide a 1-3/4" dia. hole through floor in location specified in Fig. 1, connect bath drain to waste line. Tighten all drain joints securely. Clean the bath and fill with water and check for leaks around all drain connections.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP

Remove all construction debris from bath. Do not use wire brushes or any other metal implement on bath surface.

Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent. Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water.

Painter's naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.

HARSH CHEMICALS SHOULD NEVER BE USED ON ACRYLIC SURFACES.

Abrasive cleaners must not be used since they will scratch and dull the surface. Dulled areas can be restored by rubbing with a white automotive-type polishing compound and waxing with a liquid wax.

If a scratch should occur in the backing material, it is easily repaired by using paste or liquid shoe polish followed by buffing.
