• Apply a generous bead of silicone caulking to the base of the tub.
(See
Fig. 5
)
• Carefully set the tub into position. Ensure that drain tail piece gasket is fully
seated against the tail piece flange.
• Connect the tail piece to the tub drain. Tighten all of the drain connections.
Remove any excess caulking where the tub meets the floor.
Note: Connecting the tail piece assembly to the drain will require access
from beneath the tub.
• Fill the tub with water and drain. Check for leaks and re-tighten connections
as necessary.
• Apply a bead of Tub & Tile caulk around the bottom edge of the tub where
it meets the floor. Remove any excess caulking.
FIG. 5
No fixtures can be mounted on the tub deck of freestanding tubs. Floor or wall-mounted fixtures are required.
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 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.
