BEFORE YOU BEGIN
To
ensure that no damage has occurred to your bathtub during
shipping, it is important to check your bathtub for damage prior to
the installation in your home!
DRAIN
Move your new bathtub to a location that will not be damaged
.
We
recommend that you install the
drain
onto the bathtub at this time.

!! IMPORTANT !!
Your bathtub is a DOUBLE WALL construction. The drain
needs to be installed with
SILICONE, not Plumber
's
Putty!
Apply a liberal amount of
"
kitchen and bath
"
type silicone (available
in most Home Improvement or hardware stores) to the drain threads
and a bead on the underside of the Drain Flange
(See Fig. 1)
. Insert the
Drain through the drain hole, screw into the Waste Pipe and verify
that the rubber gasket is seated properly between the bottom of the
tub and the Waste Pipe. The handles of a pair of pliers can help you
screw the Drain securely into the Waste Pipe
(See Fig. 2).
Wipe off any
excess silicone around the drain with a clean, dry cloth.
Allow 24 hours for the Silicone to cure completely
before adding water to the bathtub.
If everything is sealed and dry, fill your bathtub and check for leaks.
After the water test is complete and there are no leaks, proceed with
installing your bathtub.
