LIFT AND DURING ENTIRE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCTCarefully, remove the tub from it’s 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 damages to the bathtub be sure to set it on cardboard
with soft blanket on top of the cardboard.
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 installallon, please check that 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 a leakage occurs please
disassemble the drain line or overflow assemblies and you can apply a plumbing
puhy/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 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 additonal 1/8″ or 3/16″ so that the weight of the tub, water

connection below the floor for any leaks. Access from below will be necessary
for this step.
Step 9: Wilh the tub now set in

Note: If installing on a concrete slab where no underfloor access or
cannot move drain. You may consider following option.
- Optional flexible drain hose from plumbing hardware or home improvement store may be used GETPRO will not supply this flexible hose). Connect one end ataches 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.

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.
Step 4: Measure the actual
distance from drain into drain pipe on floor and the drain pipe should extend
approximately 1′ above the finish floor. Use a drain adapter (not provided) if
necessary.
Step 5: Clean the surrounding of the drain pipe with cloth in preparation
of seting the drain, the area should be dry and free of any debris. Apply a
