TOOLS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION (NOT INCLUDED)

Inspect the bathtub for any damages. If any damage is found please contact your retailer.

What’s In the Box

Carefully, remove the tub from its crate/box.
Important Note: Bathtub must be carried by a minimum of 2 adult people in upside down position only. Do not carry the bathtub by its panel. To avoid scratches or damage to the bathtub be sure to set it on cardboard with a sođ blanket on top of the cardboard.

How to Use

Set your bathtub on two 4×4 pieces of lumber so you can have access from the bottom of the bathtub. Put a tray beneath the bathtub. Very Important! Before proceeding with installation, please check that the push scupper plug, drain, and integrated overflow are properly sealed and tightened. Push the scupper plug into a close position and fill the bathtub with cold water above the overflow level to test for overflow leakage and drain leakage. Check for any leaks around the drain and pipe. (NOTE: Due to surface tension, it is normal for a small amount of water to pool around the drain) If leakage occurs please disassemble the drain line or overflow assemblies and you can apply a plumbing pushy/silicone caulk to fix the leakage. Once the leakage test was performed you may proceed to the installation.

INSTALLATION WITH UNDERFLOOR ACCESS

Step 1
Clean, level and prepare the floor for installation, Place the tub in the exact installed location on the floor and trace the outline of the bathtub with a pencil and mark the drain hole location on the floor. Move the tub away so that the plumbing can be installed. Step 2
Turn the bathtub upside down and set it on a non-abrasive mat, blanket, or cardboard to prevent any scratches on tub rim.

Step 3
Place a level across the bottom of the tub and adjust the tub feet leveler to touch the level. Then raise the leveler additional 1/8″ or 3/16″ so that the weight of the tub, water and user are fully supported by the feet adjuster and not the tub walls.pop up cover drain body rubber drain gasket tailpiece (provided by installer) floor drain pipe (provided by installer) trap (provided by installer) rubber drain gasket P-trap.

Step 4
Install an 1-1/2″ tailpiece along with the corresponding flanged washer and 1-1/2″ nut to the drain body.
Step 5
Measure and cut the tailpiece to the appropriate length to reach the trap adapter When setting the tub drain, insert tailpiece with 1-1/2″ slip joint and rubber washer into the trap adapter and tighten properly.

Step6
Apply a generous bead of adhesive or waterproof silicone to the bottom of the tub and a bead of tub and tile caulk around the edge of the tub.
Step 7
Flip the tub over and carefully set the tub into position with tailpiece assembly to P-trap and connect to the drain.
Step 8
Fill the tub with water to the overflow and then drain the tub while inspecting the waste and overflow connection below the floor for any leaks. Access from below will be necessary for this step.

Step 9
With the tub now set in place, wipe off any excess tub or tile caulking, and adhesive where the tub meets the floor with a wet cloth.

Step 10
DO NOT SHOWER or MOVE the tub after installation because it will take about 24 hours to get the silicone sealant to dry.
Note: If installing on a concrete slab where no underfloor access or cannot move drain. You may consider the following option.

• Optional flexible drain hose from plumbing hardware or home improvement store may be used GET PRO will not supply this flexible hose). Connect one end attaches to the bathtub drain and the other end needs to be atached to the floor drain by using a transition piece. Optional Island tub drain may also be used. Create a bridge from the bathtub drain to the floor drain by a certified plumber only because any wrong connection or loosen on the connection will cause leaks.
