This drain is designed for standard PVC plumbing connections. Professional installation is recommended.

5.1. Pre-Installation Check

• Ensure all necessary tools and materials are available (e.g., PVC cement, primer, measuring tape, level).
• Verify that the rough-in opening for the drain matches the dimensions of the MAAX drain.

5.2. Installation Steps

1. Prepare the subfloor or shower pan opening according to the manufacturer's instructions for your specific shower base or tile-in application.
2. Apply PVC primer and cement to the drain body and the connecting PVC pipe as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
3. Securely connect the drain body to the waste pipe, ensuring a watertight seal. Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive.
4. Position the drain body so that the top edge is flush with the finished floor or shower pan surface. Use a level to ensure proper alignment.
5. Once the drain body is securely installed and sealed, insert the brushed nickel grate into the drain opening.
6. Test for leaks by running water through the drain before completing the surrounding floor or wall installation.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your MAAX drain.

• Cleaning the Grate: Periodically remove the brushed nickel grate. Clean it with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Cleaning the Drain Body: Use a brush or cloth to remove any hair, soap scum, or debris from inside the drain body.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical drain cleaners, as these can damage the finish and material of the drain.
