INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1: HOW TO PUNCH OUT FAUCET HOLES & INSTALL STEEL LEGS
-
Place the laundry tub on a clean surface, such as a blanket or carboard, and turn the tub upside down to allow for the removal of the pre-formed knockouts. These will accommodate the faucet that is going to be installed. The hole plugs may be removed by a flathead screwdriver or a small chisel and a hammer (see Fig. 1).
-
While the tub is still upside down, insert the 4 steel legs into each corner socket (see Fig. 2).
-
Use a hammer and a block of wood to drive each leg into the tapered socket until it is secure (see Fig. 3).
CAUTION:- DO NOT strike the leg directly with the hammer. Place the block of wood against the leg, then strike the wood with the hammer.
- DO NOT insert the leg all the way into the tapered socket. It’s okay if there is a gap between the tub and the corner of the steel leg. Verify that each leg is locked securely in place by gently tugging the leg.
- DO NOT wiggle the leg back and forth, as this will loosen it from the tapered socket.
-
Mount leveler to each leg. Note that there are two holes in the bottom of the leg at different locations. Select the proper hole that will allow access to the screwhead after the tub is in the desired location. Attach leveler with¼ in. (0.63 cm.) bolt and nut and hand tighten it. DO NOT over-tighten it in this step (see Fig. 4).
-
Gently turn the tub back to the correct position after the steel legs are installed.
-
Position the laundry tub in your desired location. To adjust the level of the tub, move the levelers up or down. Tighten the nuts after adjusting the levelers to the desired level. Holes on the bottom of levelers are included for mounting the tub to the floor if desired (anchors not furnished).
MPORTANT: When installed correctly and the leg is secure, there WILL be a slight gap in the corner between the top of each leg and the bottom of the tub (image A). Do NOT attempt to insert and force past this gap to make them flush. This WIU crack the tub (image B).
