Fasi di installazione
- Preparare la base della doccia: Ensure the shower base opening is correctly sized for a 2-inch drain connection. The area around the drain should be clean and free of debris.
- Vestibilità asciutta: Before applying cement, dry fit the drain body into the shower base opening and connect it to the existing 2-inch PVC waste pipe. Verify proper alignment and fit.
- Apply Primer and Cement: Following the manufacturer's instructions for your PVC primer and solvent cement, apply primer to both the outside of the waste pipe and the inside of the drain body's connection point. Immediately apply a generous, even coat of solvent cement to both primed surfaces.
- Collegare lo scarico: Firmly push the drain body onto the waste pipe with a slight twisting motion to ensure even distribution of cement. Hold in place for at least 30 seconds to allow the cement to set.
- Sicuro e livellato: Ensure the drain body is level and securely seated in the shower base. Allow the solvent cement to cure for the recommended time before proceeding with waterproofing or tiling.
