1. Install the Strainer
Apply a ring of plumbers putty or other sealant to the underside
of the edge of the drain body according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Insert the drain body in the sink.
Partially thread the screws into the mounting nut until they
protrude slightly through the mounting nut. From under the sink,
slide the rubber washer and steel washer on the drain body, and
then thread the mounting nut onto the drain body until it is
about 1/4″ (6 mm) away from the sink bottom.
Tighten the three mounting screws to draw the drain body tight
against the basin of the sink.
NOTE: Do not reposition the drain body after it has been tightened.
Position the small gasket on the drain body.
Align the wide end of the tailpiece with the drain or strainer
body, slide the nut onto the tailpiece, and thread the nut to the
drain body.
Position the P-trap (not shown) on the end of the tailpiece.
