No fixtures can be mounted on the tub deck of freestanding tubs. Floor or wall-mounted fixtures are required.
Wall-Mounted - The position of the tub and the reach of the spout are critical. Pay special attention to the
spout reach when choosing your fixtures. Be careful to ensure the spout will extend out far enough to clear
the tub flange and the falling water will not hit too high up on the side wall of the tub and splash.
Floor-Mounted - Some freestanding fixtures must be anchored to the tub drain for stabilization. The waste
and overflow on freestanding tubs are concealed so anchoring to the overflow pipe (or tub structure) is not
possible. Many kits (with minor modification) can be mounted to the wall (rather than the drain pipe) for stabilization.
