CAUTION

2 PEOPLE ARE REQUIRED TO LIFT AND DURING ENTIRE INSTALLATION OF THIS PRODUCT

Carefully, remove the tub from its crate/box. Important Note: The bathtub must be carried by a minimum of 2 adult people in upside-down position only. Do not carry the bathtub by its panel  To avoid scratches or damages to the bathtub be sure to set it on cardboard with a soft blanket on top of the cardboard.

Set your bathtub on two: 4×4 pieces of lumber so you can have access from the bottom of the bathtub. Put a tray beneath the bathtub. 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 bathtub 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.

INSTALLATION WITH UNDERFLOOR ACCESS

  • Step 1
    Clean, level and prepare the floor for installation, Place the tub in the exact installed location on the floor and trace the outline of the bathtub with pencil and mark the drain hole location on the floor. Move the tub away so that the plumbing can be installed.

  • 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 an additional 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.
