Inspection and Testing
Inspection:
• Remove the bath from the carton. Retain the shipping carton until satisfactory inspection of the product has been made. Do not lift the bath
by the plumbing at any time; handle by the shell only. All bath units are factory tested for proper operation and watertight connections
prior to shipping.
• Inspect the shell and bathtub components. Should inspection reveal any damage or defect in the finish or visible damage to any
components, do not install the bathtub. Damage or defect to the finish claimed after the bathtub is installed is excluded from the warranty.
• Inspect the tub components for loose fittings.
Testing:
• Prior to installation and before enclosing with wallboard, tile, etc., the bath must be filled with water and operated to check for leaks that
may have resulted from shipping damage or mishandling.
• It is the responsibility of the installer to thoroughly test the tub prior to completing installation. Place the tub on a level surface, ensure
drain is sealed and fill the bathtub with water to the bottom of the overflow. Allow water to sit in tub for at least 5 minutes as a static test. If
installing a system tub, plug in the motor/ pump and turn it on. Confirm all features function correctly. Visually inspect all joints for leaks.
DO NOT install tub if any leaks are detected or system functions do not work properly.
DO NOT SIT ON THE LEDGE OF THE BATHTUB
That might cause serious injury. FLEURCO is not responsible for defects and/or
