This section details the steps for installing the Remer 958L-CR P-Trap. Basic plumbing tools such as a wrench, plumber's tape, and a bucket may be required.

5.1 Pre-Installation

1. Turn off the water supply to the sink at the main shut-off valve.
2. Clear the area under the sink to allow for easy access. Place a bucket underneath the existing P-trap to catch any residual water when it is removed.
3. Remove the old P-trap assembly, if applicable.
4. Inspect the sink tailpiece and the wall drain pipe for any debris or damage. Ensure they are clean and ready for connection.

5.2 P-Trap Assembly and Connection

The Remer 958L-CR P-Trap is designed for straightforward installation. Refer to the image below for component identification.

This image displays the Remer 958L-CR P-Trap, a plumbing fixture designed to prevent sewer gases from entering a building while allowing wastewater to drain. It features a polished chrome finish and a contemporary round style, constructed from high-quality brass. The P-trap consists of a horizontal pipe section connecting to the wall drain and a vertical section connecting to the sink's tailpiece, forming a water seal.

1. Slide the wall flange (escutcheon) onto the horizontal arm of the P-trap, positioning it against the wall drain opening.
2. Connect the horizontal arm of the P-trap to the wall drain pipe. Ensure a proper seal using the provided washer and tighten the slip nut by hand, then gently with a wrench for a secure fit. Do not overtighten.
3. Connect the vertical inlet of the P-trap to the sink's tailpiece. Use the appropriate washer and tighten the slip nut by hand, then gently with a wrench.
4. Ensure all connections are aligned and snug. The P-trap should be level to allow for proper drainage and water seal formation.

5.3 Post-Installation Check

1. Slowly turn the main water supply back on.
2. Fill the sink with water and then drain it, observing all connections for any signs of leaks.
3. If leaks are detected, gently tighten the corresponding slip nut. If the leak persists, disassemble the connection, inspect the washer for proper seating, and reassemble.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your Remer 958L-CR P-Trap.

• Cleaning: Clean the polished chrome finish regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, scouring pads, or acidic cleaning agents, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all connections for tightness and signs of corrosion or wear.

7. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your P-trap.

• Issue: Leaks at connections.
  Solution: Ensure all slip nuts are tightened securely but not overtightened. Check that all washers are correctly seated and not damaged. If a washer is damaged, replace it.
• Issue: Slow drainage or clogging.
  Solution: The P-trap may be partially clogged. Turn off the water supply, place a bucket underneath, and carefully disassemble the P-trap. Remove any debris or blockages. Reassemble, ensuring all washers are correctly placed and connections are tight.
• Issue: Foul odors from the drain.
  Solution: This indicates the water seal in the P-trap may be dry or compromised. Ensure water is regularly run through the drain. If the issue persists, check for leaks that might be draining the trap, or ensure the P-trap is correctly installed to maintain its water seal.
