60" Chelsea Double Clawfoot
DRAIN ASSEMBLY
Move your new bathtub to a location that will not be
damaged by water run-off. A driveway or patio is suitable
for testing your bathtub. We recommend that you install the
waste & overflow pipes and union onto the bathtub at this
time. This will help with water testing your new bathtub, these
parts are highlighted in Red.
American Bath Factory recommends having a certified
plumbing technician install your bathtub.
!! IMPORTANT !!
Your bathtub is a DOUBLE WALL construction. The drain needs to
be installed with SILICONE, not Plumber’s Putty!
Apply a liberal amount of “kitchen and bath” type silicone (available in
most Home Improvement or hardware stores) to the drain threads and a
bead on the underside of the Drain Flange (See Fig. 1). Insert the Drain
through the drain hole, screw into the Waste Pipe and verify that the
rubber gasket is seated properly between the bottom of the tub and the
Waste Pipe. The handles of a pair of pliers can help you screw the Drain
securely into the Waste Pipe (See Fig. 2) Wipe off any excess silicone
around the drain with a clean, dry cloth.
Allow 24 hours for the Silicone to cure completely
before adding water to the bathtub.
If everything is sealed and dry, fill your bathtub 3/4 of the way and check
for leaks. After the water test is complete and there are no leaks,
proceed with installing your bathtub.
