19. Apply a generous bead of silicone to the drain collar
and surrounding area on the underside of the tub.
Secure the collar using the gasket (8) and locking nut (9)
provided. Make sure the gasket is positioned so it's flat
side contacts the underside of the tub then tighten the
lock nut.
20. Insert the overflow assembly (1-3) into the overflow
hole. Refer to drawing attached.
21. Tighten the screw (3) to secure the overflow assembly
then thread the cover (4) onto the screw. Adjust the
screw as needed so the Waterworks logo is horizontal.

nut (12) provided. Do NOT over tighten.
23. Dry-fit the slip joint gasket into the 1 ½" hub then

24. Apply clear adhesive silicone to the outside of the slip
joint gasket then insert it into the 1 ½" hub (drain) then
apply clear adhesive silicone to the inside of the slip joint
gasket. Note the silicone will act as a lubricant then act
as a seal when it cures.
25. With the drain and tailpiece attached, position the tub
so the tailpiece passes through the hole in the floor and
slides into the 1 ½" drain hub as shown.
FINAL INSPECTION:
26. Fill the tub with water to the point where water enters
the overflow opening. Drain the tub while inspecting all
connections above and below the flooring for leaks.
27. Run a bead of tub and tile caulk around the bottom
edge of the tub where it meets the floor. Wipe away
any excess caulk with a wet paper towel.
28. Cover the bathtub surface with a bathtub liner or other
form of protection until construction is completed.
