Bathtub waste installation steps

1. Install the overflow system

Start by installing the bathtub overflow system.

Assemble:

• the control knob,
• the overflow gasket,
• the connecting flexible hose.

Make sure every component is correctly positioned to ensure perfect watertightness.

2. Prepare the waste system

Then assemble:

• the waste plug,
• the stainless steel flange,
• the double AUTOFIX® gasket,
• the connecting nuts and seals.

The AUTOFIX® gasket perfectly fits the bathtub opening, keeping the waste securely in place during installation while ensuring optimal sealing.

3. Install the bathtub waste

Insert the waste into the bathtub opening and connect the different components.

Tighten the nuts progressively without overtightening to avoid damaging the seals.

⚠️ Important: always check that the seals are properly positioned before tightening.

4. Connect the adjustable trap

Position the adjustable trap to simplify the connection to the drainage pipe.

The system is designed for a 40 mm outlet connection.

Make sure that:

• the conical seals are correctly installed,
• the nuts are properly tightened,
• the trap orientation allows smooth water flow.

5. Check for watertightness

Once the installation is complete:

1. partially fill the bathtub,
2. perform a drainage test,
3. check for leaks around all connections.

???? It is recommended to install an access panel or removable bathtub panel to facilitate future maintenance operations.
