Connecting the Main Water Supply - Turn off the main water supply, and remove any caps from the ends of the water lines. If the caps are soldered in place, just heat them with a torch and pull them off.
- Cut as many pieces of pipe as necessary to install the water supply lines to the sides of the diverter. Be sure you attach the lines to the appropriate fittings. You can connect the pieces of pipe by sweating them into place or using compression fittings.
- Install the shower riser pipe from the top of the diverter. Secure the top of the shower riser to a support block placed between two wall studs.
- Install water-resistant drywall around the tub enclosure. You will need to install 1/4" shims on the studs closest to the tub to compensate for the thickness of the flange of the unit.
Installing the P-Trap - From underneath the tub, dry-fit the P-trap assembly (figure A) to make sure everything will fit properly.
- Install the brass adapter fitting to the drain tailpiece, and loosely connect the brass adapter to the bottom of the tub.
- Install the P-trap onto the tailpiece.
- Install a horizontal pipe to the P-trap, and attach the other end of the pipe to the main drain line. You may need to use a reduction fitting for a proper connection.
- After you're sure the P-trap assembly will fit, complete the installation, using PVC cement.
- Apply the cement by smearing it around the surfaces to be connected.
- Press the fitting together, give it a half-turn, and hold it for about 25 to 30 seconds.
