Keeney Open Grid Bathroom Sink Drain Installation: A Comprehensive Guide
Upgrading your bathroom sink drain can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your bathroom. The Keeney Open Grid Bathroom Sink Drain offers a durable and stylish solution for hassle-free drainage. For a successful installation, follow these essential steps:
Materials Required:
- Keeney Open Grid Bathroom Sink Drain
- Putty Knife
- Plumber's Putty
- Wrench
- Basin Wrench (Optional)
Step 1: Removing the Existing Drain
Use a putty knife to carefully pry the old drain loose. Remove the drain and discard the putty.
Step 2: Preparing the Drain Surface
Clean the drain surface thoroughly, removing any remaining putty or debris. Apply a thin layer of plumber's putty around the edge of the open grid drain using your fingers.
Step 3: Installing the Drain
Insert the open grid drain into the drain hole, ensuring that the putty seal is secure. Tighten the drain flange by hand to snug it in place.
Step 4: Securing the Tailpiece (Optional)
If your drain includes a tailpiece, insert it into the drain opening and secure it with a wrench. Use a basin wrench to tighten the tailpiece firmly.
Step 5: Final Tightening
Use a regular wrench to fully tighten the drain flange. Be careful not to overtighten, as this can damage the fixture or piping.
Step 6: Testing for Leaks
Turn on the water and check for any leaks around the drain. If you notice any drips, adjust the position of the drain or tighten the flange as needed.
Tips:
- Use a generous amount of plumber's putty to create a watertight seal.
- If you encounter difficulty removing the old drain, soak it in a rust-dissolving agent to loosen it.
- Handle the drain carefully to avoid scratching or damaging its finish.
