Setup and Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Ensure all local plumbing codes are followed. Tools required typically include a wrench, plumber's putty or silicone sealant, and a cloth.
- Prepare the Sink Opening: Ensure the sink drain opening is clean and free of debris.
- Apply Sealant: Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange (the top part that sits in the sink).
- Insert Drain Body: Insert the drain body through the sink opening from the top. Press firmly to create a seal.
- Secure from Below: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, friction washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded portion of the drain body.
- Tighten Connections: Hand-tighten the mounting nut, then use a wrench to tighten it securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the sink or drain. Wipe away any excess sealant.
- Connect to P-Trap: Connect the lower portion of the drain to your existing P-trap assembly. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Test for Leaks: Fill the sink with water and then drain it, carefully checking all connections for any signs of leakage.
Operating Instructions
The Jaclo 814-SC features a simple finger touch mechanism for controlling water flow.
- To Close the Drain: Gently press down on the top of the drain stopper until it clicks into the closed position. This will seal the drain, allowing the sink to hold water.
- To Open the Drain: Gently press down on the top of the drain stopper again until it clicks into the open position. This will allow water to flow freely down the drain.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your drain.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the satin chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical-based cleaning agents, as these can damage the finish.
- Check for Debris: Periodically remove the stopper and check for any hair or debris that may have accumulated, which could impede drainage. Clean as necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your drain, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slow Draining | Accumulation of hair or debris in the drain. | Remove the stopper and clear any obstructions. |
| Water Leakage | Loose connections or insufficient sealant during installation. | Check all connections for tightness. Reapply plumber's putty or sealant if necessary. |
| Stopper Not Sealing Properly | Debris under the stopper or a worn seal. | Clean the stopper and the drain seat. Inspect the rubber seal for damage and replace if needed. |
