Mount the pump
NOTE:
DO NOT use plumber’s pipe threading compound (“pipe dope”) on plastic pipe; it can damage the plastic,
causing leaks and piping failure and void the warranty.
1. Place the sink in its final location.
2. Remove any existing drain fittings back to the tail piece. Make sure the existing tail piece does not leak.
NOTE : If the sink-drain tail piece is not 1-1/2 in. NPT, you will have to adapt it (bushings, reducers, etc.). In this case,
wrap all joints with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape before making connections.
3. Glue the 1-1/2 in. PVC pipe into the female adapter (Part No.1).
WARNING:
Fire and explosion hazard. Be sure to follow the cement manufacturer’s instructions when using PVC
cement. Do not use near fire or open flame.
4. Wrap the threads of the tail piece with 1 to 1-1/2 turns of PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Thread the 1-1/2 in. NPT
female adapter (Part No.1) onto the sink-drain tail piece. Thread it hand tight plus 1/2 turn with a pipe wrench or slip
joint pliers. DO NOT overtighten.
