Installation Instructions

This bath waste kit is designed for universal compatibility with most standard-sized bathtubs. Professional installation is recommended. Always ensure local plumbing codes are followed.

Pre-Installation Steps:

1. Remove Existing Stopper or Cover: Unscrew or pull out the current drain stopper to expose the drain opening.
2. Measure the Drain Hole Diameter: Use a measuring tape across the widest point of the drain hole. Most drains are 1.5 to 2 inches, but verify your specific measurement.
3. Identify Thread Type: Determine if your tub has fine or coarse threads. If unsure, consider a universal drain flange that fits both types.

General Installation Steps:

1. Apply plumber's putty or a gasket to the underside of the drain flange.
2. Insert the drain flange into the bathtub drain opening from above.
3. From below the tub, attach the drain body and tighten it securely to the flange. Ensure a watertight seal.
4. Connect the 1-1/2 inch polypropylene tubing from the drain body to your existing plumbing system. Use appropriate seals and connectors.
5. Install the Lift-n-Lock stopper mechanism into the drain opening.
6. Test for leaks by filling the tub with water and observing the connections.

Operating the Lift-n-Lock Stopper

The Lift-n-Lock stopper provides simple operation for controlling water in your bathtub:

• To close the drain and retain water, push the stopper down and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
• To open the drain and allow water to flow, turn the stopper counter-clockwise and lift it up.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your EZ-FLO bath waste kit:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the stopper and drain opening to remove hair, soap scum, and debris. Use a mild non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the chrome finish or ABS plastic.
• Inspection: Routinely check the drain for any signs of leaks or damage. Ensure the stopper mechanism operates smoothly.
• Hair Removal: If drainage slows, remove the stopper and clear any accumulated hair or debris from the drain pipe using a drain snake or similar tool.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your bath waste kit, consider the following:

• Slow Drainage: This is typically caused by blockages from hair or soap scum. Refer to the Maintenance section for cleaning instructions.
• Leaking: Check all connections for tightness. Ensure plumber's putty or gaskets are properly seated. If leaks persist, professional assistance may be required.
• Stopper Not Sealing: Ensure the Lift-n-Lock mechanism is fully engaged. Clean any debris from around the stopper's seal.
