General Information
Rough in dimensions For critical dimensions, we suggest taking the measurements of the actual tub on
site. All printed specifications are +/- 1/2 inch (13mm) and subject to change without notice.
Access panel- A removable access panel is located on the drain side (rear) of the bath. It provides access
for installation of the waste and overflow. It is held in place by covered stainless steel screws. On freestanding
air bath models, keypad wire and hose exit the bottom of the bath.
Pedestal Base - The optional pedestal base available on some models does not raise the height of the tub, as the
tub actually sits down into the base. The base does, however, extend beyond the top rim of the tub by approximately
1" (25mm). Use care when selecting your free-standing faucet, ensuring that the reach of the spout is adequate so
that no modification to the pedestal base will be necessary. If wall mounted fixtures are being used, again be careful
to ensure the spout will extend out far enough to clear the tub flange and the falling water will not hit too high up on
the side wall of the tub and splash. It may be necessary to omit or trim the baseboard or molding to allow the tub
to sit close to the wall. Please note: The pedestal base is not
symmetrical; if it does not fit, rotate the base 180°.
Fixtures
No fixtures can be mounted on the tub deck freestanding tubs. Floor or wall-mounted fixtures
are
required
. (Except for Model 60545)
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 fixtures. Be careful to ensure the spout will extend out far enough to clear
the tub flange and the falling water will not hit too high up on the side wall of the tub and splash.
Floor-Mounted - Some freestanding fixtures must be anchored to the tub drain for stabilization. The waste
and overflow on freestanding tubs are concealed under the access cover so anchoring to the overflow pipe
(or tub structure) is not possible. Many kits (with minor modification) can be mounted to the wall (rather than
the drain pipe) for stabilization.
Basic Installation Procedure
• Determine final location of tub. Tub will sit on top of finished flooring.
• Ensure location is structurally sound, flat and level.
• Remove access panel to gain access for waste and overflow installation. Be careful not to damage the
access panel during installation.
• Roll tub onto front face, being careful not to damage the acrylic finish. Use packing blanket or other suitable
material to protect the surface of the tub.
• Install waste and overflow.
• Using two 2' x 4's to elevate the tub above the floor, align the tub so that the drain lines up with the P-trap in
the floor. DO NOT LET THE TUB REST ON THE DRAIN PLUMBING.
• Apply a 3/8" bead of Liquid Nails to the bottom of the tub to adhere it to the floor.
Use care not to allow adhesive to get on the outside surface of tub or surrounding floor area. Wipe any
excess immediately with a soft, damp cloth.
• Carefully remove the 2' x 4' supports and lower the tub to the floor, making sure that the drain drops into the
P-trap.
• Check that the drain is properly aligned, complete drain installation and reinstall the access cover.
• Allow to set for 24 hours before using.
