• Very Important! Before proceeding with installation, please check that push scupper plug, drain, and integrated overflow are properly sealed and tightened.
• Push the scupper plug into a close position and fill the bath- tub with cold water above the overflow level to test for over- flow 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.

Step 2 Turn bathtub upside down and set it on a non-abrasive mat, blanket, or cardboard to prevent any scratches on tub rim.

Step 3 Place a level across the bottom of the tub and adjust the tub feet leveler to touch the level. Then raise the leveler additonal 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. Pop up cover drain body rubber drain gasket tail piece (provided by installer) floor drain pipe (provided by installer) trap (provided by installer) rubber drain gasket P-trap.

Step 8 Fill the tub with water to the overflow and then drain the tub while inspecting the waste and overflow connection below the floor for any leaks. Access from below will be necessary for this step.

Step 9 With the tub now set in place, wipe off any excess tub or tile caulking, adhesive where the tub meets the floor with wet cloth.

Step 10 DO NOT SHOWER or MOVE the tub after installation because it will take about 24 hours to get the silicone sealant to dry.
