American Standard 7034 installation instructions For Drains that are removed from below Sink

TIPS FOR REMOVING YOUR OLD DRAIN:

Most existing drains can be removed quickly and easily with only a pair of channel- lock pliers or a wrench. However, there may be situations where it is difficult to remove your old drain or determine how the drain is disassembled. Depending upon the existing Drain in your sink, it is either removed from above or below the sink. The illustrations below show some typical drain installations and how they are disassembled from the sink.

The following tips can help with some of the more common challenges in drain removal:

Loosen nuts on P-Trap using channel locks. Suggest spraying nuts with spray lubricant to loosen any corrosion or debris that may have built up. Remove P-Trap half from Tailpiece. Use bucket to catch any residual water in P-trap.

Unthread Pivot Rod Nut from Drain Body and remove. Pull Stopper out from Drain Body.

For Drains that are removed from below Sink:

Loosen Mounting Nut as far down as it will go. Push Drain Body up into Sink and unthread Flange from Drain Body. Remove Drain Body from below sink.

For Drains that are removed from above Sink:

Unthread Tailpiece from Drain Body.

Loosen and remove Mounting Nut and Gasket on Drain Body using channel locks. Suggest spraying nut with spray lubricant to loosen any corrosion or debris that may have built up. Push Drain Body up into the Sink and remove.

Note: If Drain body rotates while loosening Mounting Nut, insert a screw driver into overflow hole to prevent Drain Body from rotating while Mounting Nut is removed.
