FIXTURES
•
No
f
ixtures can be mounted on the tub deck. Floor and wall-mounted fixtu
r
es 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 fixtu
r
es. Be careful to ensure the spout will extend out far enough to clear the tub deck
and the falling water will not hit too high up the side wall of the tub and splash.
•
Floor-Mounted
:
Some freestanding fixtu
r
es must be anchored to the tub drain for stabilization.

Remote Mounting Blower:
Due to the limited space between the inner and outer shell on all of
t
he Metro
C
ollection
f
reestanding tubs, the blower must be remote mounted. In addition to the air pipe there is one
electrical connection
between the tub and the blower. Th
e electrical co
nnection and the air pipe exit through the
bottom end of the bath.
It is always desirable to remote mount the air blower as close to the tub as possible to
minimize loss of heat.
Pipe
insulation may be used on the air line to minimize heat loss.
