Instructions:
The E501 Upgrade Kit
is used to resize an older ebbe drain opening within a completed
shower to accept a new ebbe PVD Finish Drain Grate, eliminating the
need to tear out the old drain and tile.
Items you will
need:
1. ebbe
E501 4" square drain upgrade kit
containing:
(Template Shown Upside Down)
- Router Template
- Hex Key
- 1/4" Router Bit With Guide Bearing
2. Router
with a 1/4" collet
Step
1: Install the bit as far into your 1/4"
router collet as the bearing will allow and tighten. Adjust
the height of the router base plate so that the top of the bearing
is even with the bottom of the plate as shown above.

NOTE:
You will be using router to remove unwanted plastic
material at each corner and along each straight edge. This is
necessary to allow the new grate to fit within the newly cut plastic
opening.
Step 2: Insert the
template into the square drain opening on the shower floor.
Four "L" shaped legs will fit within the drain opening as pictured.
Step 3: Adjust the four set screws down
until each is in contact with the tile. This is to stabilize
the template and keep it from tipping outward when routing.
Make sure that the template is stable all around before
cutting.
Step 4: Place the router base plate flat against the
template and the bit within the opening away from the edge turn the
router on. Cut in a clockwise direction around the entire
perimeter of the opening. Corners will require more
time. Remove all material at each corner. Do Not use
excessive outward pressure along perimeter edges as this may create
too much clearance.
Step 5: Remove the template, vacuum up the router shavings
and insert the new grate into the opening. Repeat step 4 with
more outward pressure if more clearance is needed. You are now
ready to enjoy the benefits of the new E-Series drain grates with
the PVD finish for years of easy trouble free maintenance on your
square shower drain.
