Installation Instructions
Hydro-massage Bathtub - UL 1795
INSTALLATION WITH MOLDED ACRYLIC OR SCREW
ON TILE FLANGE
1 Drill through flange at the framing studs.
2 Screw flange to framing studs.
3 For units equipped with the acrylic flange, bring the
sheathing to the top of the flange and seal the joint. (See
diagram A)
4 For units equipped with the screw on tile flange, it
is necessary to caulk between the flange and tub after
attaching the flange to the framing. Allow the sealant to dry,
then bring the sheathing over the flange. (See diagram B)
5 Tile over sheathing and/or flange, sealing all joints between
the tub and tile.
6 Insert horizontal edge of skirt into top brackets. Once
skirt is plumb, scribe a line on the floor parallel to bottom
of skirt.
7 Mount (3) lower braces to floor approximately 1/4”
behind line (1 center of skirt - 1 on each end of the toe
kick.)
8 Lift skirt until seam between tub and skirt is minimal,
screw (5) into place.
9 Place decorative caps over screw heads.
NOTE: Caulking may be used to completely conceal seam
between tub and skirt. In some cases it may be necessary to
widen the recess in the top brackets, if so, use a hand saw
and cut in 1/8” increments. DO NOT deepen recess.
