4. Assemble the Drain
NOTE:
The same steps apply to both above-the-floor and
through-the-floor installations, but the tee is aligned differently.
Align as shown in the illustration.
Slide a coupling nut, then a gasket onto the overflow tube.
Slide a coupling nut, then a gasket onto the drain ell.
Align the overflow tube and drain ell with the tee. Align the tee
following the illustration for your style of installation.
Insert the tubes completely into the tee. If necessary cut the
overflow tube to the correct length. Remove any burrs.
Align the tubes and tighten the coupling nuts.
Apply thread sealant to the threads on the tailpiece.
Insert the tailpiece 1” (2.5 cm) to 2” (5.1 cm) inside the trap inlet.
The tailpiece may need to be cut for proper fit.
Insert the tailpiece into the tee, then tighten with a pipe wrench.
