Place the tub in the exact position of final installation. The bathtub cannot be repositioned once it is plumbed and
installed. The tub is designed to sit on top of the finished floor
.
H
owever, you may need to leave an area by the drain
open until installation of the drain is complete.
Ensure location is structurally sound, flat and level.
Elevate the tub to allow access to the bottom of the tub from the drain to the overflow area. The tub is very heavy;
use appropriate supports.
Temporarily “dry fit” the drain kit and trim the pipes to proper length. Note the distance from the edge of the tub to
the center of the overflow pipe. This measurement will be used to verify the location of the hole in the floor for the
overflow pipe. Also see rough-in dimensions on previous page.
Remove the drain kit from the tub.
Use emery cloth, grinder or wire brush to remove the plated finish from the pipe where it will be soldered to the ‘tee’.
Provide opening in floor below drain of approximately 6” x 6”. This will be completely covered by the tub.
Install tub in precise location desired. Use only 100% clear silicone to adhere tub to floor.
Using the distance noted in step #4, drill hole in floor for overflow pipe.
Re-assemble drain kit on tub using clear silicone under drain strainer. Remove excess silicone immediately. Tighten
waste flange assembly and ferrule until seated plus 1/4 turn. Remember to install bell flange on overflow pipe. Slide
the bell flange high up on the overflow pipe to avoid heat damage during the next step.
Carefully solder connections at brass ‘tee’. Wrap a wet rag around overflow pipe to prevent the heat from damaging
the plating. Always use proper heat shielding to protect the surrounding materials.
Connect the ‘P-trap’ to the drain kit.
Use clear silicone to seal the gap between the overflow pipe and the floor. Lower bell flange to the floor. Attach
overflow cover and thread stopper assembly into waste flange. Fill tub to overflow and allow water to stand for 30
minutes. Check carefully for any leaks. NOTE: The overflow is a plumbing device designed to prevent water from
reaching a certain level in your tub. DO NOT, under any circumstances, tape off or block the overflow in any way.
