Setup: Installation Instructions

Follow these five steps for proper installation of your Keeney Universal Button Bathroom Sink Drain:

1. Prepare the Drain Body: Remove the locknut, friction washer, and sink washer from the drain body.
2. Install Drain into Sink: Apply a suitable sealant (e.g., silicone sealant) to the underside of the drain flange. Insert the drain body into the sink's drain opening. Note: For suitable sealant, do not use plumber's putty on marble or plastic surfaces as it may cause discoloration.
3. Secure from Underside: From under the sink, place the sink drain washer (beveled side up), followed by the friction washer and then the locknut onto the drain body. Tighten the locknut securely onto the drain body. Do not overtighten.
4. Attach Tailpiece: Insert the tailpiece washer into the flanged end of the tailpiece. Place the tailpiece nut onto the tailpiece and hand tighten it onto the drain body. Apply thread tape to the tailpiece threads for a better seal.
5. Connect to Plumbing: Connect the tailpiece to your existing extension tube or P-trap assembly. Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks.

Operating Instructions

The Keeney Universal Button Bathroom Sink Drain features a simple push-button operation:

• To Close the Drain: Press the button down firmly until it clicks into the closed position. This will seal the drain, allowing the sink to fill with water.
• To Open the Drain: Press the button again. The stopper will release and rise to the open position, allowing water to drain from the sink.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and proper function of your drain:

• Cleaning the Stopper: The push-button stopper can be easily removed for cleaning. Simply pull the stopper straight up to detach it from the drain body. Clean any hair or debris accumulated around the stopper and inside the drain opening. Rinse the stopper and reinsert it firmly until it seats properly.
• Surface Cleaning: Clean the brushed nickel finish with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, which can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your drain, consider the following:

• Leaks:
  • Ensure all nuts and connections are tightened securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage components.
  • Verify that the sink washer and friction washer are correctly seated and not damaged.
  • Confirm that suitable sealant was applied correctly under the drain flange.
  • Check that thread tape was used on all threaded connections, especially the tailpiece.
• Slow Draining:
  • Remove the push-button stopper and clean any hair or debris that may be obstructing water flow.
  • Ensure the stopper is fully in the 'up' position when open.
  • Check the P-trap for clogs.
• Stopper Not Sealing:
  • Remove the stopper and inspect the rubber seal for damage or debris. Clean if necessary.
  • Ensure the stopper is fully pressed down to engage the seal.
