Opsætning og installation
This section outlines the steps for installing the Elkay LK60 continuous waste drain connection. Basic plumbing tools such as a pipe wrench, pliers, and a screwdriver may be required.
- Prepare the Sink Drains: Ensure that the sink drains are clean and free of debris. If replacing an existing drain system, remove all old components.
- Connect Tailpieces to Sink Drains: Attach the curved ends of the 1-1/2" diameter brass tubing tailpieces to the sink drain openings. Use appropriate washers and nuts to create a watertight seal. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
- Position the Center Outlet Fitting: Align the Elkay LK60 center outlet fitting between the two tailpieces. The fitting has three openings: two for the tailpieces and one for the main drain connection.
- Connect Tailpieces to Center Outlet: Insert the straight ends of the brass tubing tailpieces into the side openings of the center outlet fitting. Secure these connections with the provided nuts and washers, ensuring a tight seal.
- Connect to Main Drain: Attach the bottom opening of the center outlet fitting to your existing main drain P-trap or waste line. This connection will typically involve a slip nut and washer. Ensure all connections are properly aligned and tightened.
- Test for lækager: Once all connections are secure, turn on the water supply and fill the sink(s). Observe all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, gently tighten the corresponding nuts until the leak stops. Do not overtighten.
Drift
The Elkay LK60 continuous waste drain connection operates passively by directing water from multiple sink bowls into a single drain line. Once properly installed, it requires no active operation. Water will flow through the tailpieces, converge in the center outlet fitting, and then proceed to the main drain system.
