Installation notes
Cleaning Instructions
The installation must comply with all plumbing codes including local
codes.
IMPORTANT: All final connections are made below the
finished
floor. Accessibility below the finished floor is recommended.
However, Island Tub Drain ITD5135 (sold separately) allows for a
freestanding tub to be installed over a finished floor. This item is
highly recommended for ease of installation.
Take all necessary precautions
to ensure the bath
tub
is protected
during
installation.
IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the waste as this may cause
damage. Use a torque wrench set to a torque force of between
18.5 lbf.ft and 36.5 lbf.ft.
WARNING! Please check for any hidden pipes and cables, electric
or otherwise
,
before drilling holes
in a wall or floor
.
Rinse away any traces of soap and gently dry with a clean, soft cloth after each use. Rinse completely with water and dry any overspray. This will
maintain the finish and avoid water spotting.
To remove mineral deposits, use a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Do not allow the solution to soak on the product.
Simichrome Polish® contains a protective film to enhance maintenance and is helpful in preventing water spot buildup. Follow instructions to
ensure optimum results.
Never use an abrasive material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean the surface. The use of abrasive cleaners, cleansers or disinfectants will
alter the surface finish and void the warranty.
Do not allow certain materials such as toothpaste, cologne, shaving cream, nail polish remover, vinegar, wine, drain and glass cleaners to
remain on the surface. Prolonged contact will alter surface finishes and void the warranty.
We DO NOT recommend using any household cleaners as many can cause damage to the finish.
Please see the website for care instructions for specific finishes.
