ABR626ST Instruction Manual

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.
