4. Installation Instructions
Before You Begin:
Ensure the sink has a 1.5-inch cut-out for the drain. Gather necessary tools such as plumber's putty or silicone sealant, a wrench, and a soft cloth.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Sink Opening: Clean the sink drain opening thoroughly. Apply a bead of plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the underside of the drain flange.
- Position the Drain: Insert the drain assembly into the sink opening from above, ensuring the flange is centered and seated properly.
- Secure the Drain: From underneath the sink, attach the rubber gasket and mounting nut. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to secure firmly, being careful not to overtighten. The assembly is adjustable to fit various sink depths.
- Connect Plumbing: Attach the 90-degree elbow to the drain assembly. Connect your existing plumbing (e.g., P-trap) to the elbow. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Test for Leaks: Fill the sink with water and then drain it, checking for any leaks around the drain assembly and plumbing connections. Tighten any leaking connections as needed.

5. Operation
Using the Flip Drain:
To close the drain and retain water in the sink, simply push down on the flip mechanism located within the drain opening. To open the drain and allow water to flow out, push the flip mechanism again to its open position. Ensure the mechanism moves freely for proper function.
6. Maintenance and Care
Cleaning:
Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or strong detergents that can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Inspection:
Periodically check for any signs of wear, corrosion, or leaks. Ensure the flip mechanism operates smoothly and is free of debris. If any components appear damaged, consider replacement.
7. Troubleshooting
Slow Drainage:
- Check for obstructions in the drain or P-trap.
- Ensure the flip mechanism is fully open and not partially blocking the flow.
Leaks:
- Verify all plumbing connections are tight.
- Inspect gaskets and seals for damage or improper seating; replace if necessary.
- Ensure plumber's putty or sealant was applied correctly during installation.
Flip Mechanism Not Operating Smoothly:
- Clean any debris (e.g., hair, soap residue) from around the flip mechanism.
- Ensure the mechanism is not obstructed by foreign objects.
