From underneath the tub, attach the drain shoe assembly, ensuring the gasket is properly seated. Tighten securely with an adjustable wrench.
  3. Install the Overflow Assembly: Position the overflow gasket on the back of the overflow plate. Insert the overflow pipe assembly into the overflow hole from the outside of the tub. Align the overflow plate with the overflow hole from the inside of the tub and secure it with the provided screw. Ensure the cable is routed correctly and not kinked.

  5. Connect to Waste Pipe: 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.
