ABSTRACT:
A method of installing a floor fixture includes the step of providing a support structure for stabilizing the floor fixture relative to a floor foundation at an installation location. The method proceeds by coupling the floor fixture to a drainpipe at the installation location before a concrete floor is poured, stabilizing the floor fixture with the support structure, and pouring a concrete floor on the floor foundation while the support structure stabilizes the floor fixture. An apparatus for stabilizing a floor fixture includes a plate for coupling the body of the floor fixture to a plurality of legs extending to the floor foundation. The plate has a central opening such that the plate can be placed over the body of the floor fixture to a horizontal position in which the body of the floor fixture extends through the central opening. Components are provided for adjustably mounting the plate in such a position on the plurality of legs, and the central opening is either configured to mate with the cross sectional shape of the body of the floor fixture so that the plate abuts the body of the floor fixture or separate components are provided for coupling the plate to the floor fixture. The apparatus may be configured to mate with any of various conventional floor sinks and floor drains. One embodiment includes a baseplate on which a selected one of various adapter plates can be attached.
