Introduction
The Duravit 005052 Push-Button Drain Assembly in Chrome is designed to provide efficient and reliable drainage for your sink. This manual will guide you through the installation, operation, and maintenance of your new drain, ensuring its longevity and optimal performance.
Key features of the Duravit 005052 Sink Drain include:
- High-quality chrome finish for durability and aesthetic appeal.
- Convenient push-button mechanism for easy opening and closing.
- Specifically designed to complement Duravit sinks, ensuring proper fit and function, especially for sinks with overflow.
Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the correct function and leak-free operation of your Duravit sink drain. While the process is straightforward, attention to detail is required. This drain is designed for sinks with an overflow.
Tools Required:
- 4mm Allen wrench
- Plumber's putty or silicone sealant
- Adjustable wrench or basin wrench
- Soft cloth
Installation Steps:
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect all parts for any signs of damage. Ensure all necessary components are present, including the drain body, push-button stopper, and extension pipe.
- Prepare the Sink Opening: Clean the sink's drain opening thoroughly, removing any old sealant or debris.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a thin bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange (the top part that sits inside the sink).
- Insert Drain Body: Insert the drain body from the top of the sink opening. Ensure the sealant creates a tight seal with the sink surface.
- Secure from Below: From underneath the sink, thread the large nut onto the drain body. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench to gently tighten, being careful not to overtighten and crack the sink.
- Connect Extension Pipe: Attach the provided 1-1/4" extension pipe to the bottom of the drain assembly. This pipe is where the P-trap will connect.
- Install Push-Button Stopper: The push-button stopper typically screws into the drain body. Ensure it operates smoothly.
- Connect P-Trap: Connect your existing P-trap assembly to the extension pipe. Ensure all connections are secure and hand-tighten any slip nuts.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water and fill the sink. Observe all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.

Operating Instructions
The Duravit 005052 Sink Drain features a simple and intuitive push-button operation:
- To Close the Drain: Gently press down on the chrome cap of the drain stopper. You will feel a click as it locks into the closed position, allowing water to fill the sink.
- To Open the Drain: Press down on the chrome cap again. The stopper will release and pop up, allowing water to drain freely from the sink.
Ensure the stopper is fully open when draining to prevent slow drainage due to partial obstruction.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the pristine appearance and functionality of your Duravit 005052 Sink Drain, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive soap or cleaner. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based products, or cleaners containing bleach, acids, or harsh chemicals. These can damage the chrome finish and internal components.
- Clear Debris: Periodically remove the push-button stopper and clear any hair, soap scum, or other debris that may accumulate in the drain body. This helps prevent clogs and ensures efficient drainage.
- Check for Leaks: Occasionally inspect the connections underneath the sink for any signs of leaks. Address any leaks promptly to prevent water damage.
