- Fixed 16-inch length may be too long or short for non-standard tubs

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first attach the two stainless steel triangles to your existing fixture and the plug pull-ring. Once secured, hook the chain ends to these triangles, ensuring the links are fully seated to prevent detachment. This product is compatible with most standard residential bathtubs and plug styles. To maintain the finish and structural integrity, clean the chain periodically with a mild, non-abrasive soap and water during routine bathroom cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may tarnish the metal finish over time. Periodically check that the triangle connections remain tight, especially in high-traffic family bathrooms.
