ABF Installation without access under the floor
Preparation
•
Clean, level and prepare the floor for installation.
•
Clean the drain hole area in preparation of setting the drain. The area should be dry and free
of any debris.
•
Apply plumbers putty around the drain body (with top installed) and pass it through the drain
hole.
•
Apply Teflon tape to the threaded portion of the drain body.
•
Apply plumbers putty to the washer and slide it over the bottom of the drain body.
•
Attach the drain body nut on the drain body and tighten until the nut and washer have created
a seal with the bottom of the bathtub. Do not over tighten.
•
Place the unit in the exact installed position on the floor. Be sure the tub is resting on the bot-
tom supports and not the acrylic.
•
Determine the location of the drain pipe in the floor (provided by the installer) by taking meas-
urements of the installed drain with respect to the tub. This should include the position of the
drain footprint on the floor and the depth of the drain body.
•
Carefully place the unit on a blanket, cardboard, or other clean protective surface so that the
unit is properly supported.
