What’s In the Box

Carefully, remove the tub from its crate/box

Important Note:

• The bathtub must be carried by a minimum of 2 adult people in an 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 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 installation, please check that the push pop-up, drain, and integrated overflow are properly sealed and tightened.

• Push the pop-up 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 putty/silicone caulk to fix the leakage.

• Once the leakage test is performed you may proceed to the installation.

INSTALLATION WITH UNDERFLOOR ACCESS

1. Clean, level and prepare the floor for installation, Place the tub in the exact installed location on the floor trace the outline of the bathtub with a pencil and mark the drain hole located on the floor. Move the tub away so that the plumbing can be installed.
2. Turn the bathtub upside down and set it on a non-abrasive mat, blanket, or cardboard to prevent any scratches on the tub rim.
3. Place a level across the bottom of the tub and adjust the tub feet leveller to touch the level. Then raise the leveller an 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.
4. Install a 1-1/2″ tailpiece along with the corresponding flanged washer and 1-1/2″ nut to the drain body.
5. Measure and cut the tail piece to the appropriate length to reach the trap adapter When setting the tub drain, insert the tailpiece with a 1-1/2″ slip joint and rubber washer into the trap adapter and tighten properly.
6. 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
7. Flip the tub over and carefully set the tub into position with tailpiece assembly to P-trap and connect to the drain.
8. 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.
9. 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 installed on a concrete slab where no underfloor access or cannot move drain. You may consider the following option.

• An optional flexible drain hose from plumbing hardware or home improvement store may be used (Woodbridge will not supply this flexible hose). Connect one end to the bathtub drain and the other end needs to be attached to the floor drain by using a transition piece.
• An optional island tub drain may also be used.
• Create a bridge from the bathtub drain to floor drain by a certified plumber only because any mis-joint or loosening on the connection will cause leaks.

4. Measure the actual distance from the drain into the drain pipe on the floor and the drain pipe should extend approximately 1” above the finish floor. Use a drain adapter (not provided) if necessary.
5. Clean the surrounding of the drain pipe with cloth in preparation for setting the drain, the area should be dry and free of any debris. Apply a bead of clear silicon or plumber putty around the drain body and pass it through the drain hole, also apply plumber putty to the washer and slide it over the bottom of the drain body.

Care and Cleaning

• Most dirt will be washed with mild soap and warm water.
• For tough spots, use liquid dishwashing soap or non-chlorine bleach.
• Do not use abrasive material such as steel wool or scouring pads to clean the acrylic surface.
• Always test the cleaning solution on a small area before using it on the entire surface.
• Do not allow cleaning to soak on the acrylic surface.
• Rinse thoroughly with water immediately and wipe dry with soft cloth.

Repair and Maintenance

• Use liquid polish compounds such as Gel-Gloss Kitchen and Bath Polish(TM) to keep the original shine of the acrylic surface.
• Light scratches can be removed with a polishing compound for automobiles.
• For deeper scratches use wet sandpaper (1500 grit or higher). Always add water when sanding and lightly sand the area larger than the scratch in a circular motion to remove the scratches. Repeat until the scratch is removed. Use a soft cloth and a small amount of polishing compound to restore shine. Repeat as needed until surface shine is restored.
