Step 1: Remove 
stopper seal.
Step 2: Slide Theft-
Resistant device into 
stopper slot.
Step 3: Replace 
stopper seal.
Step 4: Insert stopper shaft into strainer body, pushing it in until the hook 
on the Theft-Resistant device snaps into place under the strainer body.
If installing the Theft-Resistant Option:
Step 9: Select the faceplate adapter (Item 5, 6, or 7) that leaves 
the desired gap between the tub wall and the edge of the faceplate 
(Item 2). (See included adapter selection instruction sheet.) 
Place adapter onto the drive shaft (Item 8) (Figure 7). If you have 
selected an adapter that is too short, the spacer tabs on the inside of 
the faceplate will rub on the OE nut (Item 3), and the adapter screw 
hole will not line up with the faceplate screw hole. 
Once the desired faceplate adapter is determined, secure the 
faceplate adapter to the drive shaft using the screw provided (Item 4) 
(Figure 8). 
Secure the faceplate (Item 2) to the faceplate adapter 
(Figure 9) using 
either
 the faceplate screw (Item 1) 
(Figure 10). (Leave the plastic sleeve on threads to help 
align the screw.) 
or
 the optional ADA handle. 
Tighten the faceplate screw until it is ush with the faceplate and snug  
(or if using the handle, until it is snug). DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Step 10: Rotate the faceplate CLOCKWISE to the fully-closed position. Install the core 
guide (Item 22) into the strainer body using a screwdriver or 7/16” socket (Figure 11). 
(See core guide instruction card included with kit.) The core guide should be screwed in 
until it is snug against the bottom of the drain elbow. Insert the stopper (Item 24) into the 
core guide (Item 22) (Figure 12). 
Step 11: Test the cable unit for proper operation. In the fully-closed position, with the 
faceplate (Item 2) rotated clockwise, the stopper (Item 25) should rest and seal on the 
strainer body ange. In the fully-open position, with the faceplate (Item 2) rotated 
counterclockwise past the click, the stopper should open to a height of ½” - ¾” above the strainer body ange. The plastic 
cable core should move freely inside the core guide (Item 22) when the faceplate is turned. Adjustments to the open height 
can be made using the stopper adjustment screw (Item 24).
