Plastic Self-Caulking Type Drain
Install drain to the shower floor. Make sure latex or silicone caulking
(not provided) is applied to the underside of drain body flanges and
secure it as shown. Do not use oil base caulking for any plastic type
drain. May cause drain to break or distort.
FOR SELF-CAULKING (SPEEDY SEAL) –– Using the caulking wrench pro-
vided, screw in caulking nut (clockwise) until it is tight enough to com-
press sealer. Install strainer by snapping it in the drain body.
Pressed-In Drain
Install shower floor by sliding metal drain cup over drain pipe. If
installing over no-hub or cast iron drain pipe, make sure the area
that is accepting the shower floor drain is free of nicks, cuts, or
burrs. To ensure proper seal, lightly sand drain pipe with emery
paper or "0000" steel wool. For ease of installation, lubricate both
the caulk sealer, drain cup and the drain pipe with either liquid hand
soap or dish washing liquid. Slide caulk sealer over drain pipe.
Complete installation by snapping strainer into place.
Care and Cleaning
Swanstone and Veritek floors are uniquely impervious
throughout their entire thickness. They maintain their
beauty in the most active environments and resist
stress, thermal cracking and peeling. However, they do
require reasonable care.
Everyday cleaning should consist of liquid cleaners
such as Dow or Lysol foaming bubbles, Top Job,

TM
Swanstone produces many decorative wall systems that are designed
toinstall perfectly over Swanstone/Veritek shower floors. Wall systems
other than Swanstone brand wall systems can also be installed over
Swanstone/Veritek shower floors. However, you must first check with
the manufacturer of those wall systems, as well as checking state and
local plumbing codes for proper installation.

CROSS SECTION VIEW
An abrasive cleaner, brush or pad will not remove
the finish because the color is molded throughout.
However, it is best to avoid the higher sheen surface
around the pebbles. The higher sheen is a feature
that deters soap build up. Prolonged scrubbing of this
area could cause it to look dull, and promote soap
build up.
