Drain Assembly Installation

KITCHEN SINK DRAIN ASSEMBLY – QUICK GUIDE

Drain assemblies consist of the following components:

  • Metal Strainer Body (A)
  • Locking Nut (B)
  • Strainer Cup & Plug (C)
  • Thin Rubber Gasket (D)
  • Thick Rubber Gasket (E)
  • Grey Plastic Drain (F)

1. UNPACK & ORGANIZE

  • Take apart the drain assembly as packaged and lay out the parts in the order you remove them.

2. SEAL THE STRAINER

  • Apply a bead of 100% neutral-cure silicone to the underside rim of the metal strainer body (A).
  • Fit the thin rubber gasket (D) onto the strainer body with the groove facing the sink.

3. INSTALL IN SINK

  • Insert the strainer body into the sink drain hole.
  • Press down firmly to seal, then wipe away any extra silicone with a damp cloth.

4. POSITION CUP & LOCK NUT

  • Place the strainer cup & plug (C) with the locking nut (B) attached into the strainer body and hold it in place.

5. ATTACH FROM BELOW

  • Under the sink, fit the thick rubber gasket (E) (groove facing up) into the grey plastic drain (F).
  • Press it against the underside of the sink so the locking nut (B) aligns with the threaded hole.

6. TIGHTEN

  • Hand-tighten the locking nut into the grey plastic drain.
  • Remove the strainer cup & plug (C), then finish tightening the nut with a flat screwdriver in the groove.

7. FINISH PLUMBING

  • Continue with the rest of your plumbing installation.
