4. Setup and Installation

The Moen T90331WR drain kit is designed for straightforward installation in bathtubs with 1-1/2 inch threaded drains. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with plumbing procedures.

Required Tools (Not Included):

Plumber's putty or silicone sealant
Tub drain removal wrench (for removing old drain)
Screwdriver (for overflow cover)
Bath shoe gasket (recommended, as it may not be included with all kits)

Installation Steps:

Prepare the Drain Opening: Ensure the bathtub drain opening is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old drain, remove it carefully using a tub drain removal wrench.
Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange (the top part of the drain that sits inside the tub).
Insert Drain Body: Insert the drain body into the bathtub drain opening from above. Ensure the sealant creates a tight seal.
Secure the Drain: From underneath the tub, thread the drain shoe onto the drain body. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to secure it firmly, being careful not to overtighten. Wipe away any excess sealant.
Install Overflow Cover: Attach the overflow drain cover to the bathtub's overflow opening. If converting from a 2-screw overflow to a single-screw cover, ensure you have the appropriate conversion kit (Moen part 142538).
Test for Leaks: Fill the bathtub with water and check for any leaks around the drain and overflow areas. Tighten connections if necessary.

Note: Some installations may require a bath shoe gasket between the drain and the tub for optimal sealing. This gasket may need to be purchased separately.

5. Operating Instructions

The Moen T90331WR drain kit features a simple Push-N-Lock mechanism for controlling water flow.

To Close the Drain: Gently push down on the drain stopper. It will click into place, sealing the drain and allowing the tub to fill with water.
To Open the Drain: Gently pull up on the drain stopper. It will release, allowing water to drain from the tub.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your Moen drain kit.

Cleaning: Clean the drain stopper and overflow cover regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
Hair and Debris Removal: Periodically remove the drain stopper and clear any accumulated hair or debris from the drain opening to prevent clogs and ensure efficient drainage.
Seal Inspection: Inspect the drain and overflow seals periodically for wear or damage. Replace worn seals to prevent leaks.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause / Solution
Slow Drainage	Hair or debris in the drain. Remove the stopper and clean the drain opening. Partial clog in the plumbing. Use a drain cleaner or consult a plumber.
Drain Leaks	Improperly sealed drain flange. Ensure plumber's putty or sealant is correctly applied and the drain is tightened. Worn or missing bath shoe gasket. Replace the gasket if necessary. Loose connections. Check and tighten all plumbing connections.
Stopper Not Sealing	Debris under the stopper. Clean the stopper and the drain seat. Worn stopper gasket. Replace the rubber gasket on the stopper.
Overflow Cover Leaks	Loose overflow cover. Tighten the screw(s) securing the cover. Damaged overflow gasket. Replace the gasket behind the overflow cover.
