Home / Bathtub Drain Strain Installation Instructions

Important Instructions –

  • DO NOT test the Adapter Nut in your drain before attaching it to the Adapter Stem. This will prevent you from accidentally dropping the nut down the drain. Ensure your cap is pulled up to ensure proper water flow.
  1. REMOVE OLD DRAIN STOPPER
    Remove the drain plug currently in your tub. Go to www.drainstrain.com/bathtub for videos on how to remove the most common drain stoppers from your tub.

  2. ATTACH ADAPTER NUT TO ADAPTER STEM
    Hand screw Adapter Nut onto the base of the Adapter Stem. If adapter assembly doesn't install properly into the drain thread, switch nut and try again.

  3. INSTALL ADAPTER STEM
    Insert Adapter Stem into drain thread and hand tighten. Slide Tightening Tool down completely over the stem and use flathead screwdriver to firmly tighten Adapter Stem into the drain.
