3. Install the Base Trim
WARNING: Risk of personal injury.
Wear personal protective equipment and obtain sufficient help
to carefully lift or move the bath. Cast iron baths are extremely heavy. If the cast iron bath is not
lifted properly, personal injury may occur.
NOTICE:
Do not use the wooden float to support the bath. The bath must be supported by the bath feet
only.
NOTICE:
Ensure the rough plumbing and finished flooring are installed before installing the base trim.
NOTE:
The float has foam pads that help keep the float from moving after installation. These pads may
come off during installation. If these pads come off during installation, ensure they are inserted into the
space between the bath and the float.
Place the wooden float on the finished floor according to the rough-in dimensions.
The slot on the float should align properly with the drain pipe and floor drain hole.
With help, lift the bath over the float and carefully set it in place, aligning the drain pipe with the
slot on the float.
Ensure the bath sits properly over the float. The inner ridge of the float should fit inside the bath on
all sides.
