3. Install the Bath
CAUTION: Risk of property damage.
For baths with factory-installed drains, make sure the
connections have not become loose during shipping. Tighten as needed to prevent leakage.
CAUTION: Risk of personal injury.
This bath is extremely heavy. Obtain sufficient help
and
use
lifting straps to carefully lift or move the bath.
Stack together two 6’ (1.8 m) lengths of 2x4 lumber. Secure each set of stacked 2x4s together with
nails or screws.
Position the stacked 2x4s on each side of the drain pipe to temporarily support the bath.
With help, use lifting straps to carefully lift the bath into position on the 2x4s so the bath drain is
over the drain pipe.
Carefully reposition the bath as needed so the bath drain is directly over the drain pipe.
Use lifting straps and get additional assistance to remove the 2x4 supports and carefully set the bath
on the floor. Adjust the bath position as needed to ensure that the drain pipe is in the center of the
bath drain hole.
Verify that the bath is level. Install shims as needed.
