Bliss Tubs has gone to great lengths to ensure ease in maintenance and repair work through strategic placement
of all plumbing and electrical systems. However, it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure tub-integrated access
panels can be easily removed and are not impeded by other bathroom fixtures when the tub is in place. If space
restrictions are a factor, it is also the installer’s responsibility to provide adequate access to electrical and plumbing
components for any future service-related needs.

ADD AN EXTRA WALL ACCESS PANEL AS NEEDED. THIS IS OF PARTICULAR
IMPORTANCE WHEN INSTALLING ONE OF BLISS TUBS’ MORE COMPACT UNITS WHICH ARE NOT
EQUIPPED WITH INTEGRATED FRONT-ACCESSIBLE ACCESS PANELS (I.E. B3237 OR B306022).
After pre-installation procedures are complete, bring the tub inside the home. Be sure to measure the tub
diagonal dimension prior to moving the tub into the home so you don’t hit walls when maneuvering in the home.
Be extremely cautious when maneuvering the bath tub. Units can weigh upwards of 300 lbs. so ensure you
have adequate space and assistance. Never lift the bathtub by any portion on the integral plumbing or electrical
systems. Bliss Tubs does not warranty any damage to the tub or its plumbing or electrical system due to improper
handling or care.

IT IS EASIER TO INSTALL THE FAUCETS, INSTALL THE BATH DRAIN AND
OVERFLOW KIT AND PRE-FIT THE EXTENSION KIT ON THE TUB BEFORE MOVING THE
TUB INTO ITS FINAL INSTALLATION LOCATION.

1. Faucets
Faucets are thoroughly inspected for appearance and function by our factory-trained technicians. For best
results, install the faucet set on the deck in the order it appears on the following page. The holes are pre-drilled
and the lengths of hoses supplied accommodate this line up. The arrangement shown also allows maintenance
access to the most commonly used fittings on the tub – the mechanical valves and diverter. Having access to
these components is very important as they are the most prone to abuse and/or misuse more so than other tub
components. Hook up all the lines once the faucet set is in place on the deck leaving only the hot and cold supply
lines to be connected after the tub is installed. Ensure there are no kinks in the supply lines as this will restrict the
water flow and increase fill time. Be sure to flush the supply lines before making the final connections. Although
the supply hoses have integrated washers, it is still recommended that teflon tape or thread sealant be used on
the threads to ensure a complete seal. Be careful not to scratch plated finishes during installation.
caution...
SEDIMENT, DEBRIS AND SOLDER FROM UNFLUSHED LINES WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE VALVES. ANY RESULTING DAMAGE WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY.
caution...
FAUCET SET CONTAINS VERY SMALL COMPONENTS. BE CAREFUL TO CONTAIN
PARTS DURING INSTALLATION TO REDUCE THE RISK OF LOST COMPONENTS. BLISS
TUBS DOES NOT COVER THE COST OF LOST COMPONENTS OR ANY CORRESPONDING
SHIPPING COSTS.
