WASTE AND OVERFLOW ROUGH-IN

8. Assemble the female part of your expansion joint  
to the P-trap.

 

 

**IMPORTANT** - 

Be sure the expansion joint is  

flush and level with the finished floor.

Once in place and flush with the finished floor – secure the 

female expansion joint and P-trap to a floor joist with  

a steel-strap to hold it in place.

9. Install the bathtub drain and connect the male expansion 

joint, being sure you leave ample length to connect securely 

to the female expansion joint below the floor.

10. To allow easy access for final connections, place the 

bathtub (with the drain assembly in place) on two pieces of 

4”x4” lumber directly above the floor opening and P-trap 

location.

 

 

 

 

11. Proceed to insert and connect the male expansion joint 

to the female expansion joint

and gently rest the bathtub on the finished floor.

 

 

 

12. Fill the bathtub with water to check that all water flows 

freely to the waste outlet.

 

 

 

 

13. As water drains from the bathtub, inspect all  

connections above and below the flooring for leaks.

14. Run a bead of silicone caulking around the bottom edge 

of the bathtub where it meets the finished floor. Wipe away 

the excess caulk with a damp cloth. Allow to set for 24 

hours.
