How to install cad floor drain

CAD floor drain is a very common drainage system. It is usually used in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and other places where drainage is required. Installing a CAD floor drain is not difficult, just follow the steps below.

Step one: Prepare tools and materials

Tools required to install CAD floor drains include electric drills, screwdrivers, protractors, levels, plumb bobs and plumb lines. The materials needed to install CAD floor drains mainly include cement, water pipes, mortar and floor drains.

Step 2: Confirm the installation location

Before installing the CAD floor drain, you need to confirm the most suitable installation location. It is best to choose a location close to the drainage pipe, which can reduce the bending of the pipe and extend the length of the pipe. Also, make sure that the ground at the installation location is flat so that the opening and the installed diverter are level on the plane.

Step 3: Make the opening

After confirming the installation location, you need to accurately measure the size of the floor drain, and then draw a rectangle on the ground with the same size as the floor drain. Drill all four corner holes with an electric drill, and use a hammer, chisel, or saw to cut out the entire hollow part of the rectangle, making sure the edges are straight and smooth.

Step 4: Install the water distributor

Put the water distributor into the opening, align the level and plumb bob, and adjust it horizontally to a horizontal state. Then, apply a layer of cement mortar with a thickness of 1 to 2 centimeters around the floor drain, insert an iron pick plate between the water distributor and the ground, and tighten it. Finally seal the edges with mortar to give it a clean and tidy look.

Step 5: Install the water pipe

Then you need to install the water pipe. The perforation of the water pipe should be as close to the bottom of the floor drain as possible. Insert the water pipe into the drainage hole above the water distributor, and then use pipe clamps or self-tapping screws to fix the water pipe in the corresponding position.

Step 6: Install the floor drain

After the water pipe installation is completed, the floor drain needs to be installed into the hole. Make sure the floor drain matches the size of the hole and secure it with screws. Before fixing the floor drain, apply Teflon lubricant to the port of the water pipe to ensure that the water pipe is inserted into the floor drain more smoothly. Finally, tighten all screws and fasteners alternately with each other.

In short, installing CAD floor drains requires patience and meticulous hands-on skills. During the operation, you must pay attention to safety and hygiene, and maintain a clean workplace and environment. As long as you follow the above steps, a properly installed CAD floor drain can provide good drainage and waterproofing effects.
