The ALFI ABLD47C-BSS is a 47-inch linear shower drain constructed from 18-gauge, grade 304 stainless steel. Designed for extra-large shower enclosures and outdoor shower applications, this drain allows for a single-direction floor slope, simplifying waterproofing and tile layout. The groove-hole cover pattern provides a clean, modern aesthetic suited to contemporary tile and stone installations. At 8.40 pounds, the unit is substantial enough for permanent installation while remaining manageable for one-person handling during rough-in. Plumbers and tile setters working on high-end residential or light commercial wet areas will find this drain appropriate for their applications.
This drain is suited to residential and light commercial shower installations where a traditional center drain layout is not practical or desired. Extra-large showers, barrier-free or ADA-style walk-in designs, and outdoor shower decks are common applications. The 47.24-inch length accommodates full-width wall-to-wall placements in many standard and oversized shower configurations. A removable basket strainer inside the drain body captures hair and debris before it enters the drain line, reducing maintenance frequency. Note that the shower drain base is not included but is required; compatible bases are available as model ABDB55 in PVC or ABDB55CI in cast iron.

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and confirm the subfloor is adequately supported before setting the drain base. The drain base must be installed and set in mortar or concrete prior to securing the linear drain body. Do not overtighten fasteners against the tile surface, as the stainless steel flange can deform under excessive clamping force.
