with a sink opening of 3-l/2” to 4” without sink alteration.
.: Standard
I -l/2” O.D. or 2” O.D. drain pipe is satisfactory for drain lines. Long

(,I. Fig. 1) into the drain opening. Be sure the sink flange is located in the
center of the drain opening to assure a water-tight seal. NOTE: The rubber sink
flange seal (2, Fig. 1) should always be used where possible. In rare instances
