Lavatory Lift Rod and Waste Assembly
1. Thoroughly clean around drain opening in lavatory sink. Apply
1/4 inch bead of plumber's putty (not furnished) around the bot-
tom side of seat.
2. Apply pipe joint compound or Teflon tape (not furnished) to top
threaded end of the drain body. Slip drain body up through the
drain opening and screw seat on the drain body.
3. Position the drain body with pivot rod opening extending rear-
ward and tighten mounting nut until the drain body is snug. Wipe
excess plumber's putty from the seat area. Apply pipe joint com-
pound (not furnished) to top threaded end of tailpipe and screw
into drain body. Tighten firmly by hand.
4. Position drain plug in either of the following ways:
A. VANDALPROOF - this design is to prevent unauthorized re-
moval of the drain plug. Unscrew the pivot nut and remove the
pivot rod. Inside the drain body position the pivot rod through the
drain plug hole as shown in the illustration below. Screw the pivot
nut back on the drain body. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
B. EASY REMOVAL - This design is for quick removal of drain
plug for cleaning. Just drop in the drain plug as shown in the
illustration below.
5. Install lift rod, with knob attached, into top of spout as shown.
Secure lift rod strap to bottom end of lift rod as shown. With pivot
rod in the down position, assemble strap to pivot rod using the
spring clip. The strap will have to be bent to reach the pivot rod
on some installations. Adjustment may be required so lift rod
clears spout tube and connection (i.e., bend spout tube out-
wards).
6. With the drain plug in full open position, adjust lift rod and knob
to clear faucet and tighten lift rod strap screw.
CAUTION: To avoid the lift rod
knob rubbing against spout, do
not install rod any lower than
dimension shown.
