Installing the Drain Valve
In order to prevent damage during shipping, the drain valve assembly has not
been installed. If desired, the valve should be installed after the cabinet is in its
final location.
To install the valve assembly, follow these steps:
Note:
The work surface is heavy. Use caution when handling it.
1. Locate the Drain Valve components and installation hardware. The
components and hardware are shipped in a single bag inside the parts box,
underneath the work surface.
2. Lift the work surface out of the cabinet by lifting on the knobs at the front of the
work surface. Steady the work surface while pulling it straight out the front of
the cabinet.
3. Using a putty knife, remove and discard the stainless steel cover that is sealed
over the drain mounting holes. Scrape off remaining sealant that is around the
holes.
4. Apply a light coating of silicone sealant (user supplied) to the mounting surface
of the drain assembly. Attach the drain assembly under the bottom of the
cabinet as shown in Figure 3-3. Wipe off any excess sealant from the cabinet
bottom. Ensure that the center drain hole is unobstructed.
5. Make sure the drain valve is in the closed position.
6. Reinstall the work surface.
7. Allow the silicone sealant to cure for at least eight hours before exposing it to
liquid.
Note:
The drain valve assembly
attaches to the underside of the cabinet
bottom.
Apply a light coat of silicone sealant to this
surface of the connector, aligning the three
holes in the connector with the three holes in
the cabinet liner.
