GENERAL INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Carefully uncrate and inspect your new bath for any shipping damage. If such damage is found, report it to your
vendor immediately. After inspection and during installation, protect the bath from construction damage. Before
installation, and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be filled with water to check for leaks that
may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling! Fittings (bath filler, shower arm, etc.) are not provided with
the bath and must be ordered separately. Framing and enclosing materials are provided by others. Follow test
procedures carefully.
ATTENTION INSTALLER!
THIS TUB MUST BE TESTED FOR OPERATION AND LEAKS PRIOR TO ENCLOSURE OF SURROUNDING
AREAS. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL VOID WARRANTY. THIS TUB WAS WATER TESTED AT THE FACTORY AND
FOUND TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND LEAK FREE PRIOR TO SHIPPING. FREIGHT HANDLING AND JOB
SITE EXPOSURE MAY HAVE DETERIORATED THE TUB’S CONDITION. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
INSTALLER TO THOROUGHLY TEST THE UNIT PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. TUBS ARE INTENDED FOR INDOOR
USE ONLY.
TEST PROCEDURES:
1.
Place the tub on a flat surface such as a driveway.
2.
Seal the drain with tape.
3.
Fill tub and allow tub to stand for five minutes. Examine all fittings carefully for leaks.
NOTE:
The overflow is a plumbing device designed to prevent water from reaching a certain level in your tub.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, tape off or block the overflow in any way.
4. If any leaks or operating problems are discovered, do not complete installation until problems are resolved.
DXV will not be responsible for any costs involved with removing or reinstalling the tub, or for the costs
of any surrounding materials or labor.
If you have installation or warranty questions please do not return the unit to the place of purchase. Call 800-227-2734
Always protect tub from construction damage by using a protective cover. Damage, including chips and scratches
incurred at the jobsite is excluded from warranty but may be repaired by qualified technician at the owner’s expense.
Do not stand in the tub or store materials in the tub during construction. Do not store tub in temperatures below
32 degrees Fahrenheit. Proper waste and overflow installation is the responsibility of the installer. DXV does not warrant
leaks associated with improper waste and overflow installation.
Check for availability of optional DXV wall tiling bead (required for recess installation).
Protect all finished surfaces of the bathtub during construction and installation using a drop cloth.
