Setup and Installation
This kit is designed for straightforward installation. No special tools are required for the replacement process. Ensure all necessary components are present before beginning installation.
Components Included:
- Chrome-plated two-hole faceplate
- Faceplate screws
- Drain assembly with toe-touch stopper
- Bushing
- Pipe and elbow (as part of the drain assembly)
Note: This is a standard half kit; it does not include the main overflow pipe or tee connection to the main drain line. The bolt holes on the top elbow are pre-threaded for convenience. The 3/8” thread size is for testing purposes.
Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the existing bath waste assembly is completely removed and the tub drain and overflow openings are clean and free of debris.
- Install Overflow Faceplate: Position the two-hole faceplate over the overflow opening. Align the screw holes and secure it with the provided screws. Ensure a watertight seal, using plumber's putty or silicone sealant as recommended by local plumbing codes.
- Assemble Drain: Connect the drain assembly, including the bushing, pipe, and elbow, to the tub drain opening.
- Secure Drain: Tighten the drain assembly securely to create a watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
- Test for Leaks: Fill the bathtub with water and check for any leaks around the overflow faceplate and the drain assembly. Address any leaks before proceeding.
Operating Instructions
The Jones Stephens B07113 features a toe-touch stopper for easy operation of the tub drain.
- To Close the Drain: Gently press down on the top of the chrome stopper with your foot or hand until it clicks into the closed position. This will seal the drain, allowing the tub to fill with water.
- To Open the Drain: Gently press down on the top of the chrome stopper again until it clicks into the open position. This will release the seal, allowing water to drain from the tub.
The toe-touch mechanism is designed for smooth and reliable operation without the need for bending or reaching into the tub.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your bath waste kit.
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome-plated surfaces regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish.
- Stopper Inspection: Periodically check the toe-touch stopper for any debris or hair accumulation that might impede its sealing function. The stopper can typically be unscrewed for cleaning if necessary.
- Seal Integrity: Inspect the seals around the overflow faceplate and drain assembly annually for any signs of wear or degradation. Replace seals if necessary to prevent leaks.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leaks Around Drain or Overflow | Improperly sealed connections; loose fittings; damaged gasket/seal. | Ensure all connections are tight. Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant as needed. Inspect and replace any damaged gaskets or seals. |
| Drain Stopper Not Sealing Properly | Debris under stopper; stopper mechanism malfunction; worn seal on stopper. | Remove stopper and clean any debris. Check if the stopper mechanism is operating freely. Replace the stopper if the seal is worn or the mechanism is faulty. |
| Slow Draining | Hair or debris accumulation in the drain pipe. | Remove the stopper and clear any obstructions from the drain opening. Use a drain snake if the blockage is further down the pipe. |
