This trim kit is designed for use with Geberit concealed bath waste and overflow drains. It fits 2-inch (53 mm) diameter drain hole openings and 2 to 2.5-inch diameter overflow hole openings.

1. Prepare the Drain Assembly: Ensure the Geberit concealed bath waste and overflow drain assembly is already installed according to its specific instructions.
2. Identify Components: Unpack the trim kit and identify the metal handle, overflow cover, and drain stopper.
3. Install Overflow Trim:
   • Align the overflow cover with the overflow opening on the bathtub.
   • Secure the overflow cover using the provided screws or mounting mechanism. Ensure it is flush and securely attached.
4. Install Drain Stopper:
   • Insert the drain stopper into the drain opening.
   • Connect the stopper to the internal linkage of the concealed drain assembly. Refer to the main drain assembly manual for specific linkage connection details.
5. Attach Metal Handle:

5. Operating Instructions

The Geberit TurnControl system allows for easy opening and closing of the bathtub drain.

• To Close the Drain: Rotate the metal handle in one direction (typically clockwise) until the drain stopper is fully seated, sealing the drain.
• To Open the Drain: Rotate the metal handle in the opposite direction (typically counter-clockwise) until the drain stopper lifts, allowing water to drain.

The handle provides a smooth and precise control over the drain mechanism.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the finish and functionality of your Geberit TurnControl Overflow Drain Trim Kit:

• Cleaning: Clean the trim kit regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or polishes that can damage the polished nickel finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check the handle and overflow cover for any signs of wear or looseness. Tighten any loose components as needed.
• Drain Stopper: If the drain stopper becomes stiff or difficult to operate, check for debris in the drain opening or consult the main drain assembly manual for lubrication or adjustment instructions.

7. Troubleshooting

• Drain Not Sealing:
  • Ensure the handle is fully rotated to the closed position.
  • Check for any debris obstructing the drain stopper's seal.
  • Verify the drain stopper is correctly connected to the internal linkage.
• Handle is Loose or Stiff:
  • Check the set screw or retaining clip securing the handle to the shaft and tighten if necessary.
  • If stiff, the internal mechanism of the main drain assembly may require lubrication or adjustment. Refer to the main drain assembly manual.
• Leaks Around Overflow:
  • Ensure the overflow cover is securely fastened and that the gasket (if applicable) is properly seated.
  • Leaks from the overflow typically indicate an issue with the main drain assembly's overflow connection, not the trim kit itself.
