Installing a custom linear drain in your shower can elevate the look of your bathroom while also improving drainage efficiency. If you have a YZdrain linear drain ready to be installed, follow these simple steps to ensure a successful installation process.
Step 1: Measure and Mark
Start by measuring the length of the shower area where you plan to install the linear drain. Mark the centerline where the drain will be placed, ensuring it aligns with the existing plumbing.
Step 2: Prepare the Shower Base
Before installing the linear drain, make sure the shower base is clean and free of any debris. Apply a waterproofing membrane around the drain area to prevent leaks and water damage.
Step 3: Install the Drain Body
Place the drain body into the designated area, ensuring it fits securely. Connect the drain body to the existing plumbing system, making sure it is properly aligned for efficient water drainage.
Step 4: Secure the Grate
Once the drain body is in place, secure the grate on top. The grate should sit flush with the shower floor and be securely attached to prevent any movement during use.
Step 5: Test the Drain
Before finishing the installation, test the drain by running water through it. Check for any leaks or drainage issues to ensure everything is functioning properly.
Step 6: Seal the Edges
Finally, seal the edges around the linear drain with a waterproof sealant to prevent any water from seeping underneath. This will help maintain the integrity of the installation over time.
By following these easy steps, you can successfully install a custom linear drain in your shower with the help of YZdrain products. Enjoy a stylish and efficient drainage solution in your bathroom!
