Before you begin, ensure the water supply to the sink is turned off. You may need basic plumbing tools such as a wrench or pliers.
3.1 Prepare the Sink Hole
- Clean the sink drain hole thoroughly, removing any old caulk, putty, or debris.
- Ensure the sink hole is compatible with the drain assembly (1-1/2" or 1-3/4" diameter).
3.2 Assemble the Drain
- Apply plumber's tape (provided) clockwise around the threads of the drain body.
- Place the top rubber washer onto the top flange of the drain body.
- Insert the drain body into the sink hole from above, ensuring the top rubber washer is seated flush with the sink surface.

3.3 Secure the Drain
- From underneath the sink, slide the bottom rubber washer onto the threaded portion of the drain body, against the underside of the sink.
- Thread the brass mounting nut onto the drain body and hand-tighten it.
- Using a wrench or pliers, carefully tighten the mounting nut until the drain assembly is secure and does not move. Do not overtighten.

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and proper function of your Purelux drain assembly.
5.1 Cleaning
- Clean the drain stopper and visible parts with a soft cloth and mild soap.

5.2 Preventing Clogs
- Regularly remove hair and debris from the drain opening to prevent blockages.
- Avoid pouring grease or harsh chemicals down the drain.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Purelux drain assembly, refer to the common problems and solutions below.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
