Installation Guidelines

General Note: Please consult all local plumbing codes before installing
Watts Pronto!™ floor drains.

Watts Pronto!™ floor drains are designed for pre- and post-pour adjustment with flexibility in mind.
Pronto!™ delivers an integrated built-in bubble level for ease of installation and is pre-packaged with
shims for tilt correction.
Pronto!™ is designed for light to medium commercial and residential applications and comes in
both cast iron and PVC. PVC drains offer the unique ability for easy installation while giving durability
for the long haul. Cast iron is durable and designed with ease of installation in mind. Both drains are
adjustable and meet the requirements of a durable adjustable floor drain.

Typical Installation

Note:

Pronto!™ floor drains arrive assembled and must be partially
disassembled before installation.

Plastic top assembly with bubble level should remain on the drain until drain is securely installed
and concrete cured. The plastic top assembly is designed to keep the nickel bronze grate from
being damaged during installation and keeps concrete from entering the drain.

Note:

Make sure cover is snug

2. Drain Body

Attach the drain body securely to the leader pipe. Use the bubble level on top of the plastic
cap to level the drain body evenly before concrete is poured. Check local code requirements
before pressure testing the connection. Plastic drain body should be solvent welded to the

pipe. Cast iron body will be no hub or push on (specify).

3. Concrete

Concrete floor should be poured flush with the top of the drain body.

4. Waterproofing Membrane
Waterproofing membrane is used per the manufacturers instructions.

Clamping collar must be removed while installing waterproofing membrane.
Waterproofing membrane sits on top of the drain body. Clamp collar attaches to the
drain body clamping the waterproofing membrane between the two. Small grooves
in the clamp collar allow water to flow off the membrane, through the slits and into
the drain. Clamp collar is secured with screws (provided). Screws should be
inserted with a maximum torque of 8 ft-lbs.
Note: Clamp collar inverts for a lower rough-in height.

5. Plastic Top Assembly

Adjust the top of the drain with the plastic cover in place by screwing it into the drain body until
the top of the cover is flush with finish floor grade.
Plastic top assembly should sit tight against the clamping collar ensuring that no concrete seeps
into the drain assembly. Make sure cover is snug but do not over tighten.

7. Removing Protective Label & Plastic Cap

• Once concrete is cured, remove the protective label on top of the plastic top
assembly to expose the two recessed slots on each side to the bubble level.

• Loosen the three 10-24 screws.

• Adjustable pliers may be needed to break the plastic top assembly loose from
the concrete seal.

• Use the back of the pliers, or a hammer to tap against the plastic top assembly.

• Continue tapping until a visible crack forms around the edge of the top assembly.

• The top should loosen and separate from the concrete by using the pliers to
grasp the edge tabs around the recessed screw holes and popping the top up.
(A straight edge screwdriver may also be used to pry the top up)
Do not use excessive force when tapping against the cover. Excessive

force may cause pliers to slip and cause damage to the concrete floor.

8. Shims

The Pronto!™ floor drain comes equipped with two plastic leveling shims. These
may be used when the finished drain assembly is slightly tilted.

On-Grade Slab Installation

It is recommended to use a bead of silicone around the last thread of the top
assembly.
Screw the top assemby down until the bottom of the frame is flush with the
concrete.
Use a bead of silicone around the perimeter of the strainer frame.
Gently turn the head clockwise until the top of the strainer sits flush with the finish
floor.

Cleaning & Maintaining Pronto!™ Floor Drain

Pronto!™ floor drains should be inspected periodically to ensure maximum
performance. If drain becomes clogged with dirt and debris, it will significantly lower
the amount of water that flows into and through the drain.

Maintenance

First remove the three screws that hold the strainer in place.
Lift strainer off and lay aside.
Grip the top adjustable strainer shank and screw it up and out of the drain. Lay
aside. The shank may need to be wiped down if the sides come in contact with
dirt and debris.
Use gloved hands or tools to remove any dirt and debris that may have entered or
clogged the drain body.
Flush drain with water to make sure that is working properly.
Screw the strainer shank back into the drain body and adjust to correct height.
Petroleum jelly may be used around the shank for easing the process.
Apply the top strainer and insert screws.
