drain tailpiece fits into the drain pipe.
Check for solid fit (no rocking) and a 24-1/8″(613 mm) rim corner height to the finished floor.

24-1/8″(613 mm) from the finished floor to the top of each bath rim corner. Adjust the bath levelers
as needed. Make sure the bath levelers and bath feet are tight.
