Installation Guide

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.
