5. Alternate Control Knob Positioning
NOTE: Installing the control housing in this manner will not affect the drain operation shown on the
previous page.
If you prefer to position the control knob indicator opposite of positions #1 and #3 shown on the
previous page, insert the control knob and rotate the control housing 180°.
The control knob indicator should now point toward the front of the sink when the drain is open
and the back of the sink when the drain is closed.
6. Connect the Drain Control to the Cable
CAUTION: Risk of product damage. Do not kink or loop the cable.
NOTE: The cable drain is assembled properly when the control knob indicator points toward the drain
that is closed.
Determine the preferred position of the control knob indicator.
Connect the cable(s) to the control housing by placing the cable ends into the sockets and pushing
the cable connectors over the cable sockets.
Hand tighten the cable connectors to the control housing.
Connect the right hand drain cable to the right hand control connection. Connect the left hand drain
cable to the left hand control connection.

7. Install the Drain Control
CAUTION: Risk of poor product performance. Location of the cable drain control on the faucet deck
is critical to product performance. Make sure the 27″(68.6 cm) control body will reach the sink drain
before the cable drain control is installed.
Remove the control flange from the control housing and apply a ring of plumbers putty or other
sealant around the bottom of the control flange according to the putty manufacturer’s instructions.
Assemble the flange nut, plastic washer and gasket to control housing. The distance between the top
of the control housing and gasket must be larger than the faucet deck thickness.
From under the sink, lift the control housing up to faucet deck and turn the control flange until
tight.
Align position of control housing as previously determined.
Push the control flange onto the sink.
Tighten the flange nut and remove excess putty or sealant.
8. Complete the Strainer Installation
Apply thread sealant tape to the control body.
Slide the nut onto the tailpiece and insert the small gasket.
Thread the tailpiece to the control body and tighten the nut securely with a wrench.
