If you need assistance removing your valve we have had great luck with Apollo Drain, both in this business and our previous business. A combined 20 years of using Apollo Drain without issues.
**Important Notes-
***We only need one water supply line. Hot side if water is not too hot. Cold side if any doubt water will be too hot. Please ensure the hot is not too hot by carefully placing your hand under to ensure sustained exposure is not too hot. **** Two lines work too.
***We need the drain/overflow pipe connected. Please do not disconnect the drain/overflow pipes. We cannot refinish your tub with out a functional drain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions:
1- Remove the faucet - Tub with faucet - notice the faucet/taps are on the surface to be painted, and it's too intricate to mask and get good results.
2- Route water line(s) up from on/off valves at the floor as seen below- Please route water line(s) up from the floor, where there should be on/off valves (if you don't have on/off valves you will need one installed) that we will use to control water while prepping the tub.
**These lines can be soft or hard line.
***NOT ALL LINES are long enough - you may need to get a longer line.
3- Ensure the water lines from the floor are long enough to stick inside the tub. They can stick in a little (as pictured) or can be longer.
Zoomed in view- lines routed up from the floor go into the faucet holes of the tub from the backside.
4- Example of what it should look like when done correctly -
As viewed from inside the tub
** Once inside the tub - your lines can be longer, but should not be any shorter
5-For your information only -
After we are done with the water, we poke the lines back out of the tub so we can spray the area unobstructed.
