INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
FREESTANDING BATHS
Installation of one piece free standing baths
•
Step 1: Temporarily position the bathtub in the desired location, ensuring that the drain hole is aligned to the floor drain and
then draw the contour of the bathtub on the ground. If the floor drain is not installed yet, trace its location through the hole of
the bathtub, then move the bathtub to a safe place, so as to install floor drain according to guidelines. Reposition the bathtub
and ensure that the trace lines are followed.
•
Step 2: Check the level and adjust if necessary by screwing or unscrewing the feet beneath the bathtub
(maximum adjustment of 1 ¾” ) and ensuring that the bathtub is always resting on all four feet while minimizing the space
between the skirt and the floor (the skirt can touch the floor but shall in no way support the weight of the bathtub).
•
Step 3: Lock the bathtub feet into position by tightening the adjoining nut once an accurate, acceptable level is confirmed.
•
Step 4: Lay the bathtub on its side, having previously laid cardboard packaging on the ground to protect the surface of the
bathtub. Be sure to use a piece of cardboard without staples to avoid damaging the surface of the bathtub.
•
Step 5: Temporarily install the drain assembly of the bathtub.
•
Step 6: Place the bathtub back into postion on the previously traced outline while ensuring that the drain end fits into the floor
drain and is held in place for the next step.
•
Step 7: Unscrew the rings of the overflow valve and then lift the bathtub and lay it on its side making sure not to move the
drain, specifically the floor drain.
•
Step 8: Tighten the seal ring of the floor drain to the end of the drain.
•
Step 9: Apply a bead of silicone to the entire circumference of the skirt and the bathtub feet. We also recommend setting a
circle of silicone to seal the drain and overflow.
•
Step 10: Place four pieces of wood ¾” thick inside the footprint on which to temporarily rest the bathtub.
•
Step 11: Raise the bathtub and then put it back down again, ensuring alignment over the vertical drain, without moving the
drain and making sure the bathtub rests on the wooden blocks.
•
Step 12: Remove the wooden blocks one by one to correctly place the bathtub in its resting place aligned to the drain.
•
Step 13: Tighten all drain and overflow connections properly.
•
Step 14: If necessary, add silicone to the location of the pieces of wood, clean surplus and erase the trace marks on the
ground.
•
Step 15: Leave the bathtub in this position for at least 24 hours before use.
•
Step 16: Water test the bathtub for leaks.
