Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to install the Pfister 192100 Waste and Overflow Replacement Part:
- Prepare the Area: Ensure the bathtub is clean and free of debris around the drain and overflow openings. Turn off the water supply to the tub.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange (the part that goes into the tub drain opening).
- Install Drain Shoe: Insert the drain shoe assembly through the tub drain opening from above. From below the tub, attach the rubber gasket and friction washer, then tighten the locknut onto the drain shoe. Use an adjustable wrench to secure it firmly, but do not overtighten.

- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and fill the tub. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until the leak stops.

Operating Instructions
The Pfister 192100 Waste and Overflow is a passive component designed to manage water levels in your bathtub. The drain stopper (if included with your tub) controls the primary drainage, while the overflow opening prevents the tub from overflowing by diverting excess water into the drain system.
Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and function of your Pfister 192100 Waste and Overflow:
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Drain Maintenance: Periodically remove any hair or debris from the drain and overflow openings to prevent clogs.
Troubleshooting
