Installation Considerations
Install the male spigot end into a compatible PVC hub using the appropriate solvent-weld procedure. Clean and prepare mating surfaces and use compatible PVC primer and solvent cement where required.
Insert the compatible tubular drain component into the slip-joint side and assemble the included plastic nut with the appropriate compatible slip-joint components. Align the tubular piping before tightening the connection to help provide a secure seal.
Tighten the plastic nut sufficiently to secure the slip-joint connection, but avoid excessive force that could damage the nut, adapter, or connected tubular components.
Our plumbing specialists can help review your DWV connection, tubular trap size, spigot connection, fixture drain configuration, and slip-joint requirements before you order.
