IMPORTANT: Please read the following instructions carefully before commencing installation. Qualified tradesmen must carry out all plumbing works and all aspects of the installation process should be in accordance with the building code.
FREESTANDING AND BACK-TO-WALL BATH
Installation Instructions
For optimum results, the bathroom floor should be level. To aid the
installation the use of a low-profile 2-piece bath waste is recommended.
Refer to Newtech Evoke 2-Piece 40mm Bath Waste – Product Code: 2280.
-
Newtech baths are supplied with integrated support with adjustable feet. Place the bath in the desired position. Note: Waste placement and plumbing requirements should have been determined and prepared by this stage. Once in the desired position adjust the bath feet so that the baths surround is touching the floor.
-
Using the spirit level check to ensure the top edge of the bath is level. If necessary, use the leveling feet to adjust. Adjusting the feet will cause the acrylic surround to lift off the floor.
BATH INSTALL DETAIL LEG
-
Carefully tilt the bath backward and apply an appropriate adhesive to each of the bath feet.
-
Connect the waste and lower the bath into position.
-
As an option, once the bath is in its final position the acrylic surround may be sealed to the floor using sanitary grade silicone. Leave to cure for a minimum of 24 hours with no water.
