Setup and Installation

This section outlines the general steps for installing the PROFLO PFA600 shower drain. For detailed, step-by-step instructions and diagrams, please refer to the official Installation Manual (PDF) provided by the manufacturer.

1. Prepare the Shower Pan: Ensure the shower pan or base is properly prepared according to its manufacturer's instructions, with the drain opening correctly sized and positioned.
2. Apply Solvent Cement: Apply ABS solvent cement to the inside of the drain body and the outside of the waste pipe.
3. Connect Drain Body: Firmly push the drain body onto the waste pipe, twisting slightly to ensure a secure, watertight seal. Hold in place for a few seconds as the cement sets.
4. Install Gasket/Seal: Place the rubber gasket or seal into the drain body, ensuring it sits flush.
5. Secure Grate: Position the chrome grate over the drain opening. Depending on the model, it may snap into place or be secured with screws.
6. Test for Leaks: After installation, perform a water test to check for any leaks before completing the shower enclosure.

Operating Instructions

The PROFLO PFA600 is a passive drainage component and does not require active operation. Its function is to allow water to flow from the shower area into the plumbing system. Ensure the grate is free from obstructions for optimal performance.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will help ensure the longevity and proper function of your shower drain.

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically remove the drain grate and clean any hair, soap scum, or debris that may have accumulated. Use a mild non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemical drain cleaners, as these can damage the chrome finish and ABS material.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure the drain opening is clear to prevent water pooling in the shower.
