B-3.2) FLANGE ADAPTER INLET (OPTIONAL):
The plastic flange adapters are used with schedule 40 pipe,
to install (see Figure 6).
1. Find the location where the center of the coupling will
be positioned on basin. Consult specifications for this
location.
2. Using a
HOLE SAW
, cut the hole in the basin to
accept the back (the portion that will be going inside
the basin), outside diameter of the flange adapter.
3. Place flange adapter on basin wall and drill mounting
holes in basin wall to match flange adapter base.
4. Apply gasket or sealing caulk to back of plate, and mount
