BAP-0724R Apron Bathtub Right Side Drain
ATTENTION
BEFORE STARTING
Our products are carefully inspected and packaged in our warehouse for shipping. Only remove the protec-tive film at the very end of the installation to ensure maximum protection. (Except where bathtub surface will be in permanent contact with another surface (I.E., Wall / faucet, etc)). It is very important that you carefully inspect the product before installation. If a product is defective, please contact the company before installation. The installer will be held responsible for any breakage or damages following the use of a defective product. To protect the unit during installation, place a cardboard in the bottom of the bathtub. Verify that the bathroom floor is leveled and strong enough to support a minimum weight of 1500 lbs, reinforce the existing flooring if needed. It is IMPORTANT to verify the drain location (it can be place of the left, middle of right) before drilling a hole in the floor. It is important to provide an access near the plumbing, pump and/or control boxes allowing to easily disassemble and/or repair these components. The whirpool/Therapeutic systems must be connected before the final installation. (see the installation and user’s guide for whirpool/therapeutic system).

ALCOVE BATHTUB INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Important point to remember before beginning installation:
- Verify that floor is structurally sound and level, floor must be able to support the full load of the tub including water to the overflow level.
- Provide access to all plumbing connections.
- Observe all local building and plumbing codes.
Prepare area by
framing the area where the tub will be installed.
Place the tub at the location where the tub
will be installed, level tub on all sides and mark the location of the drain
and the wall studs on the tile flange.
Remove the tub and install the drain, predrill
holes on tile flange at the marked location of the studs.
Apply a thin layer
(1″ to 2″) of mortar mix cement to the area where your tub basin will be
sitting.
Move the
tub into place, make sure it is level and plumb adjust feet or shim as
necessary.
Secure
the wall with galvanized screws at the predrilled screw location, apply weight
to the middle of the tub until the mortar sets.
Connect the tub drain to your drain
system.
Install
water resistant gypsum board and finish surface material (tile, stone) and
seal all edges with silicone caulking to prevent water damage.
CLEANING
Clean with a damp cloth only.
Avoid using metal or abrasive polishes.
LIMITED WARRANTY
By choosing a BATO product, a leader in the plumbing industry distributing its
products across North America, you are sure to make the right choice. On top
of the quality materials that are used to make their products, BATO’s advanced
manufacturing processes also benefit its products’ quality and longevity. To
attest to this, they decided to offer their customers a beneficial warranty.
We certify that our products will meet your needs with their style, but also
with their manufacturing quality. To make sure that they are reliable and
safe, each product was carefully inspected, tested and approved during the
quality control process that is in place.
To whom does this warranty apply?
BATO offers a 10-year limited warranty from the date of purchase, exclusive to
the first buyer as long as he/she resides in the same property. This warranty
applies to all BATO bathtubs. The warranty is intended for residential and/or
domestic use.
Care instructions
Clean the product with water and a mild detergent. Abrasive or corrosive
cleaners, steel wool, acetone, dry cleaning products or ammonia compounds must
never be used to clean the product. If a bath mat is used, it must be removed
right after each use. We recommend the use of cleaning products that are made
for acrylic specifically.
What is covered by the warranty?
| 1 Year| 2 Years| **10 Years*
---|---|---|---
Bathtubs| Mechanical drains, automatic drains and pushbutton drains| |
Acrylic and fiberglass against manufacturing defects
Systems and engines**| | Whirlpool jets, bathing jets, pump, air blower,
pneumatic and electrical controls|
*From the date of purchase.
Should there be any manufacturing defects that are not covered by the
warranty, the product will need to be inspected prior to following through
with the claim. Without that verification, the brand will assume no charge
and/or responsibility.
What are the exclusions?
This warranty is applicable on all BATO products purchased on or after January
1st, 2018.
The warranty doesn’t apply if the product is damaged as a result of misuse,
overuse or non-residential use, neglect, lack of maintenance, or the use of
corrosive or abrasive products, regardless of the person who did those
damages. The warranty does not cover shipping and labour costs. The warranty
does not apply to the normal tear and wear of the goods.
The warranty doesn’t cover the damages caused by the acts of God or breakage
resulting from a shock or mishandling, regardless of the part played by the
buyer or the installer. It also excludes the damages caused by an improper
installation.
BATO doesn’t cover damages caused by a water leak, even if they result
directly or indirectly from a product defect, except where the applicable
legislation does not allow any exclusion or limitation following indirect or
consequential damages.
It is fair to say that if the product has a manufacturing defect, it will show
as soon as it is installed or shortly after. However, a leak caused by an
improper installation could happen a long time after. Therefore, it is
strongly advised to have it done by a professional.
All warranty claims must include the invoice copy.
Should a part or product component be defective or the finish damaged
following a normal domestic and residential use, BATO commits to replacing the
defective part(s) to the first buyer only. BATO could also, in its sole
discretion, commit to offer a full replacement. No indemnity shall be claimed
for loss of enjoyment of life, loss of income or losses caused by water.
