DRAIN LINE ADAPTER INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTE
Before starting this procedure, inspect condition of drain pip-
ing, especially on older plumbing where traps and tailpieces
can be deceptively thin and frail. If pipes are in poor condition,
it is wise to inform customer that drain pipes should be
replaced.
1.
Open DLA-12 and verify Drain Line Adapter kit parts:
2.
Inspect drain pipe directly below sink drain and
confirm at least 4” of vertical pipe exsists between sink base
drain and lower trap.
NOTE:
Drain Line Adapter must be installed above the lower
trap (Figure 6.3).
3.
Cut out 1 1/2” section from drain tailpiece using hack-
saw (Figure 6.2)
4.
Disconnect and lower the J-bend of the trap. Have a
container ready to catch trap water (Figure 6.3).
5.
Place Slip Joint Wing Nut and Beveled Washer over both
ends of cut pipe, with beveled side of washer towards cut
pipe (Figure 6.2).
6.
Insert the 3-Way Repair Tee, make sure the tube ends seat
completely into sockets of tee. (Figure 6.3)
7.
Rotate outlet side of 3-Way Repair Tee to face towards Air
Gap Faucet. Firmly tighten top and bottom Slip Joint Wing
Nuts (Figure 6.4).
8.
Insert Push-In Connector Elbow into side outlet of 3-Way
Repair Tee. Orient Push-In Connector Elbow opening
upward towards Air Gap Faucet and tighten elbow Slip Joint
Beveled Washer and Wing Nut (Figure 6.4).
