Very Important! Before proceeding with installation, please check that push pop-up, drain, and integrated overﬂow are properly sealed and tightened.
Push the pop-up into a close position and ﬁll the bathtub with cold water above the overﬂow level to test for overﬂow leakage and drain leakage.
Check for any leaks around the drain and pipe. (NOTE: Due to surface tension, it is normal for a small amount of water to pool around the drain)

If a leakage occurs please disassemble the drain line or overﬂow assemblies and you can apply a plumbing puy/silicone caulk to ﬁx the leakage.
Once the leakage test was performed you may proceed to the installation.

Turn bathtub upside down and set it on a non-abrasive mat, blanket, or cardboard to prevent any scratches on tub rim.
Place a level across the boom of the tub and adjust the tub feet leveler to touch the level. Then raise the leveler additional 1/8” or 3/16” so that the weight of the tub, water and user are fully supported by the feet adjuster and not the tub walls.
Install an 1-1/2″ tail piece along with the corresponing ﬂanged washer and 1-1/2″ nut to thedrain body.
Measure and cut the tail piece to the appropriate length to reach the trap adapter When setting the tub drain, insert tail piece with 1-1/2″ slip joint and rubber washer into the trap adapter and tighten properly.
