INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT GENERAL INFORMATION
This unit is best installed by two people. Cover drain with tape prior to installation to prevent the loss of small parts. Unpack your unit carefully and inspect for freight damage. Lay out and identify all parts using Box Contents as a reference. Before discarding the carton check to see that no small hardware parts have fallen to the bottom of the box. If any parts are damaged or missing refer to the description noted in the instructions when inquiring about replacements.
When installing coordinating bath walls, additional studs may be required. Refer to those installation instructions prior to installing tub. Take extra care when driving nails or screws to avoid damaging the tub.

FRAMING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Locate studs as required. Ensure roughing-in dimensions are proper, plumb, and square (Fig. 1). It is strongly recommended that an additional opening be provided for access to the drain components.
2. Install drain components to the bath following the manufacturer’s instructions. See the roughing-in drawing for suggested opening size and location dimensions in specification page.

TUB INSTALLATION

SUGGESTED BATH INSTALLATION METHOD

SECURE THE BATH TO THE STUDS AS SHOWN FOR WOOD OR STEEL STUD CONSTRUCTION.

1. Make sure the apron brackets are securely attached. (Figure 1)
2. Place tub into studded alcove. (Figure 2)
3. Check level front to back and side to side, shim as necessary (Figure 3). NOTE: Ensure the feet of the tub are touching the floor. Shim as necessary or use optional mortar to level. To secure the tub to wood studs, attach metal flange clips (Figure 2) to corners of tub as illustrated and secure clips to the studs.
4. Bend the tabs of the metal clip over tub flange to secure tub (Figure 2).
5. Add plastic clips to tub flange at all remaining stud locations to anchor tub to alcove. (Figure 4)
6. Any finish material such as tile or wallboard must be self-supporting if it contacts the deck of the bath. Flooring will be butted against the bottom of the tub apron, also holding the tub in place.

POST INSTALLATION CLEAN-UP

Remove all construction debris. Install any accessories, shelves or doors according to manufacturer’s installation instructions. Post installation clean-up generally can be completed using warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.
Stubborn dirt or stains may be removed using granular Spic and Span® mixed with water. Painter’s naphtha can be used to remove excess adhesives and/or wet oil-base paint.

AFTERCARE AND CLEANING
Always fill the tub with temperate water. Excessively hot water may cause surface damage. Clean after use with a mild liquid household detergent cleaner. Abrasive cleaners such as Lestoil®, Lysol® Disinfectant (spray or concentrate), or Lysol® Basin, Tub and Tile Cleaner, Windex®, Mr. Clean®, Dow® Disinfectant Bathroom Cleaner, or cleaning products in aerosol cans should not be used.
DO NOT USE HARSH CHEMICALS ON TUB SURFACE

Do not use wire brushes, knives or sharp objects to remove stains, cigarette tar deposits, or other surface blemishes. Abrasive cleaners or powders must not be used, since they will dull the surface. Do not wax areas where you walk or stand.
Do not allow nail polish remover, acetone, dry cleaning fluid, paint remover or other solvents to come into contact with the surface. Clean the surrounding surface immediately after using caustic drain cleaners. Burning cigarettes will damage the surface. Should damage to the fixture occur, repairs can be made quickly and easily. Your distributor or builder can provide details.

Great Tub
03/13/2018 06:52:29 CDT American Standard Bathtubs Saver 60 Inch by 34 Inch Integral Apron Bathtub. Left Hand Drain
Love the tub. It is very roomy and would definitely buy it again. Our old tub cracked so we got this one to replace it. This one feels like it is more durable and not as flimsy as the last one.
