The services of a professional plumber are required for the installation of the bathtub.
1.
The minimum structural strength required to support the unit is 1200 lbs, 545 kg (tub and water).
2.
To avoid vibration problems, leave a small space of 1/16" between the podium (deck) and the bath lip,
seal that space with silicone.
3.
For units with tile flange, leave a small space of 1/8" between the bath lip and the tiles on the walls,
seal that space with silicone.
4.
The tub must be solidly supported at its base and leveled.
It should not be suspended by the bath
lip.
5.
For units with one or many sided skirts, the bathtub must be entirely supported by the wooden feet or
by the leveling legs.
The skirt(s) should not touch the floor. Leave a small space of 1/8" between
the skirt(s) and the floor.
Seal that space with silicone.
6.
Prepare the location of the tub, ensuring that all necessary connections (electrical and plumbing) are
in place.
7.
Check that the tub drain works normally as it should.
8.
The bathtub must be properly cleaned of all installation debris before filling it up with water.
9.
Before finalizing the installation, it is important to test water dripping into the bathtub. Check that there
is no water on the shelves and in the bottom of the tub. NOTE: It is normal that there is a few drops.
If the test is not done, this will invalidate the warranty.
