TYPICAL FREESTANDING BATHTUB INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Before you start:
•
Ensure that the floor is even.
•
The wate-overflow fitting is supplied with the product, however other accessories like the slip joint and
adaptors are not included and must be purchased separately.
•
Because of the technical features of the product, it should be used only with the supplied waste-overflow
or specific 3rd party models that have been tested and approved by us.
•
Place the bathtub by raising it up 4” with 4x4 pieces of lumber so you can have access from the bottom
of the bathtub.
•
The bath must rest on its feet, not the monobloc sides. The feet must be adjusted to compensate for any
floor imperfections and leave minimal gap with floor.
INSTALLATION SEQUENCE
•
The Arabella bathtub is equipped with factory pre-installed overflow system.
•
The waste pipe/p-trap connection must be made directly to the waste/drain outlet located at the bottom of the tub.
•
Picture 1-2:
the bathtub is leveled via a water level at the intended local installation area.
•
Picture 3:
place the bathtub by raising it up 4” with 4x4 peices of lumber so you can have access from the bottom of
the bathtub.
Important note:
during the installation, the bathtub should not be turned on its side to prevent its weight
from deflecting its monobloc sides. This is why it is important to use supports to raise the bathtub above the floor.
This will also provide you with easy access to the internal plumbing parts.
