Installation Guide

ABF Installation with access under the floor (continued)

Install Drain Hardware

Apply a bead of clear silicone or plumbers putty around the drain body 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.

Install Overflow Hardware

Place the back plate over the screw of the overflow cover.

Align the overflow cover with the bar (installed at the factory) in the overflow hole.

Carefully hand tighten the overflow cover until it stops. Do not over tighten.

Install Bathtub

Apply a generous bead of adhesive

or silicone (such as GE 5040 Sili-

cone II) to the bottom of the tub sup-

ports.

Apply a bead of tub and tile caulk

(such as GE 7000 Silicone II Pain-

table Silicone) around the edge of

the base.

Carefully set the tub into position

and finish the installation of the tail-

piece (supplied by the installer).

Be sure the tub is resting on the bot-

tom supports and not the acrylic.

Complete Installation

Fill the tub with water to the over-

flow and drain the tub while in-

specting the waste connections

below the floor for leaks. Access

from below will be necessary for

this step.

With the bathtub now in place

wipe off any excess tub and tile

caulk around the bottom edge of

the bathtub where it meets the

floor.

Run a bead of tub and tile caulk

around the bottom edge of the bathtub where it meets the

floor. Wipe off any excess caulk with a wet cloth.
