5. test
Now that the tub is in place and everything is hooked up, run the tub and test all the features before installing the
surround and extension kit.
1. Clean the door seal and jamb of any dust or debris by wiping with a soft cloth and shut the door.
2.
Check the function and flow from the hot and cold valves making sure they turn freely without rubbing on the
tub deck or the bell housing. Tighten as necessary.
3.
Test the function of the diverter and make sure there are no leaks from the handspray and flex hose
connection.
4. Look underneath the tub deck and make sure there are no leaks from any of the plumbing.
5. Test the function and feel of the drain hand control. If it is tough to turn or sounds like its grinding it may need
to be adjusted.
6. Make sure the stopper holds water when in the down position and pops up
as high as possible to allow for the fastest drain time. The screw height in the
bottom of the stopper needs to be adjusted for each tub and the locking nut
MUST be tightened after correct height is determined.
WarninG...
FAILURE TO LOCK THE NUT ON THE
DRAIN STOPPER COULD RESULT IN DRAIN FAILURE
AND ENTRAPMENT OF TUB USER. IF STOPPER DOES
NOT RESPOND TO HAND DIAL, THE STOPPER CAN BE
LIFTED OUT BY HAND AT ANY TIME.
7.
Once the drain is working properly, fill the tub with water to
above the highest water jet (if equipped).
8.
As the tub is filling, continually check the door seal and all the plumbing for any leaks.
9.
Once the tub is filled, test the systems and all their functions. Check all integral and non-integral piping for
leaks while the systems are operating. See Appendix D (page 32) for details on the operation of each system.
10. Drain the tub and make sure the stopper stays up until the tub is completely drained. Continue to check for
leaks as you drain the tub. Pay special attention to the waste plumbing connections as the tub is draining.
11. If the tub is equipped with an air system, there will be a blinking light on the control head after the water
drains signifying the 20 minute timer is activated. In 20 minutes the air system will turn itself on for one minute
to purge the lines of any moisture and will turn itself off at the end of one minute.
FinishinG WorK
1. extension Panel Finish
Add some construction adhesive (i.e. Loctite Power Grab, Liquid Nails or comparable adhesive) between the
joining surfaces in addition to the screws/bolts for added strength. Please note that in most situations, the
extension panel kit can be disregarded in favor of a tiled or otherwise finished shelf (if applicable). Always ensure
a proper moisture barrier in compliance with state and local codes.
2. surround installation
There are many different surround options available and in every case Bliss Tubs recommends that the proper
moisture barrier be installed in compliance with state and local codes.
