5. Raccordement au tuyau d'évacuation : Connect the 1-1/2" tubular piping of the drain and overflow unit to your existing waste pipe system. Ensure all connections are tight and sealed to prevent leaks.
6. Test de fuites : Fill the bathtub with water and check all connections for any signs of leakage. Operate the PushControl mechanism several times to ensure the drain stopper opens and closes smoothly.
