FAUCET INSTALLATION ON THE BATHTUB (OPTIONAL)

1. Locate where you will drill the holes into the acrylic, and stick masking tape onto that area. This will prevent the acrylic from chipping.
2. Drill holes for the faucets on the bathtub at the desired location.
3. Unscrew the bolts at the bottom of the bathtub using an adjustable key. Then carefully take out the top of the tub and place it on a throw rug or other protective floor covering to prevent damage to the bath and the floor.
4. Install the faucets according to the faucets’ manufacturer instructions. Then assemble the top of the bathtub with the skirt, and secure the bolts at the bottom as shown in the illustration.
5. Connect the faucet supply lines with hot and cold-water supply and check for leaks.

Notes: Verify all pipe connections to ensure no leakage occurs.
