- Insert the flange and thread on the drain body from below. Make sure the pivot opening faces the back.
- Tighten the locknut so the flange seals evenly.

- Attach the clevis strap to the lift rod and adjust until the stopper opens and closes fully.
- Connect the tailpiece to the trap and test for leaks.
Maintenance
