plate is vertical in both planes. This is the most common cause of issues with incorrect
installation. Use shims if required.

4) With the bath in position, mark the floor where it is to be drilled. See Figures 4.1 & 4.2 for
dimensional information. A ‘Top Hat’ foot clamp bracket will secure the bath at the ‘tap end’ of the
bath. Position the bracket (Figure 5.1) in the location identified in figure 4.1. Mark the floor fixing
locations. For the alternate hand, fit the bracket around the opposite foot. Remove the bath from
the working area.
5) Drill the marked fixing holes, taking into account the type of screws that will be used (see Figure
5.2). Ensure that holes are drilled into solid flooring, and clean out all dust and debris.
Holes marked in Red with ‘
IMPERATIVE - A
’ must have a firm fixing made to the floor. These
fixings are the opposite side of the seat and carry the load. The hole marked
IMPERATIVE
– B
should also be fixed to the floor to ensure the bath is firmly held down.
