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 & bath” 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.
